A new report from DigiTimes says TSMC is ready to kick off 3nm chip production at its Fab 18, and of course, as one of TSMC’s largest customers, Apple will be the first to reap the benefits of the cutting-edge technology. This lines up with previous reports, and Apple appears to be on track to update its next-generation devices in 2023 with an M2 Pro chip.

The rumor suggests that TSMC will hold a ceremony in Southern Taiwan Science Park on Dec. 29 to celebrate the start of 3nm chip production and detail its plans to expand 3nm silicon production as a whole.
Current reports say that Apple is planning to implement its M2 Pro chip based on TSMC’s 3nm node in its upcoming MacBook 14 and 16, Mac Studio and Mac mini. Down the road, the A17 Bionic and M3 chip will likely be based on an improved 3nm manufacturing process from TSMC.
