Tuning into TSMC's Technology Symposium today, OIP Ecosystem Forum tomorrow. Not allowed to share screen shots, so will be very text-laden. Odd, but I will follow the rules.
. @reneejo from @AmpereComputing first partner on-stage. She's giving a bit of a commercial on the company's processors and why they chose TSMC. I don't know what other bleeding-edge options Ampere had, but OK. Says have their 5nm test chip "running through fab."
TSMC N7 "7"nm:
-140 designs, 200 EOY
-1B shipped
-splits: 1/Networking, 2/ CPU/GPU, 3/ 5G, 4/ Other, 6/ AI

TSMC N5 claims:
-15% faster, 30% lower power, 1.8X density versus N7
-N5P adds 5% speed, 10% better power
