According to recent reports, Intel will rely on TSMC to manufacture its CPUs in 2022, in a 5-nanometer process. This is part of an emerging relationship between Intel and the Taiwanese foundry, a relationship that has long been in the process of emerging. Would you like to see what the future relationship between Intel and TSMC involves? Let's have a look.

TSMC partners with Intel to produce its 5nm CPUs in 2022

There are ongoing delays in the introduction of Intel's proprietary 7nm technology, which is now expected to be on the market by the end of 2022. In fact, their 10nm process has yet to reach desktop CPUs, after several successive delays, as they are unable to deliver the desired performance and frequencies.

For this reason, it seems that Intel has already decided to trust TSMC to take over the production of CPUs in the first half of 2022 as part of its 5nm process. This is according to a report by JPMorgan Chase, which was reported in a major Taiwanese newspaper. The bank's investigation claims that the Intel team has accelerated the CPU design process to 5nm, so they will arrive 6-12 months earlier than expected.
