AMD's 7nm Zen 2 processors are poised to make a breakthrough in the x86 CPU market, offering next-generation lithography alongside their cutting-edge core designs, providing performance improvements in both design and manufacturing.. With these new processors, AMD is expected to make significant market share gains before 2020, especially in the server market vs. Intel's Xeon.

Strong adoption of 7nm will see TSMC's revenues rise significantly before the end of 2019, offsetting the company's weak start to the year. 7nm utilization will be increased by demand for AMD's next-generation processors to a greater extent, as well as by the introduction of the first 7nm Android devices.

TSMC also expects its upgraded 7nm EUV process node to be ready for mass production in the second half of 2019, and that the company's 7nm nodes will be critical to financial growth this and next year.
