The yield rate exceeded expectations, Telco A14 will be produced in a timely manner in 2028

According to foreign media reports, Taiwan Electric's next-generation A14 process is expected to become a planning era process, which will not only help Moore's Law continue to advance and further innovate the computing field of efficiency.
Wccftech reports that the yield of TEK A14 process exceeds the original progress. More importantly, market news pointed out that NTD revealed data on the improvement of estimate efficiency compared with N2 (2 nanometers), and the results were amazing.
A14 section has multiple key improvements. First of all, in terms of speed and power consumption, while maintaining the same power consumption level, the A14 will bring an increase in execution speed of 15%. In terms of power consumption efficiency, it will achieve an improvement of up to 30%. As for transistor density, the A14 will increase by up to 20% compared to the 2nm-point process. After investing these data, it means that the A14 node will become a key process for improving performance.
In order to achieve these significant performance improvements, NTU plans to adopt advanced architectural techniques in the new process. The A14 will use the second-generation GAAFET nanochip transistor, and will also introduce the new NanoFlex Pro standard unit architecture. While chip industry is currently struggling to challenge existing stages such as 3 nanometers, Counter-Taiwan Electric has begun to discuss and promote process technology to be published in several years, which is the company's strategy to maintain its leading position in the industry.
From the market competition perspective, although Intel Round Foundry has also published its Intel 14A process plan, the details about expected performance or yield have not yet surfaced, so it is not possible to make further comparisons. However, Telco currently expects that the A14 process will enter production in 2028. In Intel, executive director Chen Liwu once said that Intel will start producing the Intel 14A process only if customers are willing to use it. This competition is obviously different.
Considering the huge potential contribution brought by the Taiwan Electric A14 session, including major customers such as Apple, NVIDIA and Ultramicro (AMD), it is expected that the queue will adopt this new technology. However, at imaginable expensive prices, the impact of Telco A14 process on future consumer products will be the focus of industry attention.
