TSMC is set to begin preliminary construction of its cutting-edge 1.4-nanometer chip production line, with plans for four new fabs. The first fab is expected to start mass production in the second half of 2028. The project involves an initial investment of $49 billion and will create 8,000–10,000 jobs. The company has reportedly completed the bidding process for the fab’s foundation work, and construction is scheduled to start on November 5. The project will be located in Taiwan’s Central Science Park. Once completed, the project could become the world’s largest production hub for AI and HPC chips. [Jiemian, in Chinese]
