Dan Nystedt(@dnystedt):TSMC will begin 1.4nm (A14) trial production in the 1st quarter next year, media report, and equipment is already being moved-in to Hsinchu’s Fab 20 (P3). TSMC’s Fab 25 in Taichung, central Taiwan, will be the second 1.4nm fab, with phase 1 construction to finish in April, and trial production to begin as early as the 3rd quarter-2027. Taichung will be the main A14 cluster. The A14 timeline is ahead of schedule, something TSMC had noted during its 2nd quarter earnings call in July. $TSM #semiconductors
