Tsmc ensures that it can meet the demand for 7nm nodes

There have been a lot of rumors recently about TSMC's manufacturing capabilities. Can you keep up with the 7nm demand?
TSMC is in a position to meet the manufacturing and demand of 7nm nodes
In September, AMD went to the EPYC Horizon Summit, also known as "Rome in Rome". This presentation is now available for viewing online, and there Mark Papermaster from AMD and Godfrey Cheng from TSMC gathered on stage to discuss 7nm demand and roadmaps from both TSMC and AMD.
During his presentation, Mark Papermaster commented; “As a CTO, I meet with clients every week, and the question I get is: How is TSMC going to have the ability to be able to deliver volume when others in this technology node have encountered challenges? Cheng's response was quick, "In gross aggregate capacity. "
TSMC is three times larger than its closest rival, representing 50% of the chip manufacturing market. When it comes to manufacturing capabilities, TSMC is unrivaled. With this in mind, it is clear that TSMC is AMD's ideal partner for EPYC. If TSMC cannot supply enough chips, nobody can.
That's right, 7nm has been the fastest node ramp in TSMC's history, putting the company in an ideal position to continue increasing its productivity. That said, AMD is not the only 7nm TSMC client, with Apple being one of the other major 7nm TSMC clients.
TSMC plans to grow in the coming years, and AMD's growth as a major provider of CPUs and GPUs will have a big role to play in that. TSMC is likely to manufacture the chips behind the two next-gen consoles as well, giving them more reason to make sure their 7nm nodes meet their capacity requirements.
