The reason was the lack of production capacity
Taiwanese companies have to slow down chip development
Industry sources report that TSMC’s 5nm production lines are fully loaded, mostly with overseas customers’ orders. To improve the situation, the manufacturer presented several updated versions of its 7nm technology platform, focusing on a good price-performance ratio.
As a result, MediaTek decided to use TSMC’s 6nm process technology for the newly unveiled Dimensity 1200 and 1100 SoCs to not compete with other customers for the ability to use the 5nm process technology. Now the turn for it is such that companies have to postpone releasing some new products at the end of the year.
