Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is prepared to begin 3nm chip production at its Fab 18, and Apple would be the first to get the 3nm processors order done, according to DigiTimes.
Apple appears to be on schedule to introduce an M2 Pro chip based on 3nm and intends to use its M2 Pro processor in the forthcoming MacBook 14 and 16, Mac Studio, and Mac mini. In the future, TSMC’s improved 3nm production process is likely to provide the foundation for A17 Bionic and the M3 processor.
Instead of the 5nm technique utilised for the M2 and M1 Pro, the M2 Pro will be constructed using a 3nm technology. Contrary to the M1 Pro, which has two less efficient cores, it is stated to contain four efficiency cores and eight performance cores.

According to the reports, TSMC will celebrate the beginning of 3nm chip production and discuss its ambitions to increase 3nm silicon production overall at an event on December 29 in Southern Taiwan Science Park.
With plans to establish two new plants in the state of Arizona, TSMC has recently increased its presence in the country
. Apple CEO Tim Cook discussed new plants and how the two businesses will collaborate to start making chips in the US at the beginning of the month. The two Arizona-based factories will also be able to produce 3nm and 4nm devices.
