Malinga ndi China Times Electronics News, Bitmain ndi Kenani, opanga awiri omwe amagwira ntchito popanga mabungwe apadera ophatikizidwa ndi ntchito (ASICs) yaku migodi ya cryptocurrency, akhala gawo loyamba la ntchito zaposachedwa za TSMC. Mmodzi wa makasitomala a nanotechnology.
Ripotilo linanena kuti Bitmain yalandila batch yoyamba ya zitsanzo za 5nm ASIC za migodi ya Bitcoin yopangidwa ndi TSMC mwezi uno. Pambuyo pake kotala yoyamba ya chaka chamawa, Jianan Yunzhi alandiranso zitsanzo zake zoyambirira za 5nm ASIC.
Poyerekeza ndi mulingo wapamwamba wa 7nm, ngakhale 5nm ya TSMC idakali gawo losinthira, momwe ntchito yake yasinthira. TSMC imagwiritsa ntchito kwambiri ultraviolet lithography (EUV) kuti ichulukitse kuchuluka kwa nthawi ndi nthawi 1.84, zomwe sizimangochepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito magetsi komanso zimachepetsa dera la chip.
Pakadali pano, zopangidwa za 5nm zomwe zimatumizidwa ndi zitsanzo zoyesa zoyambirira zokha. Chifukwa chake, zitha kutenga miyezi inanso isanu ndi umodzi kapena miyezi khumi ndi iwiri isanachitike kupanga ASIC pamwambapa.
Kuphatikiza apo, malinga ndi malipoti am'mbuyomu, zikuyembekezeka kuti zopanga za TSMC za 5nm ziyamba kupanga zochulukirapo theka loyamba la 2020, ndipo Apple's kizazi chatsopano cha processor A14 idzagwiritsa ntchito njira yoyamba ya 5nm ya TSMC. Mwanjira ina, Apple's A14 ipeza zinthu za TSMC za 5nm kale kuposa tchipisi ta Bitmain ndi Jianan Yunzhi.
