TSMC Arizona allegedly now producing AMD's Ryzen 9000 and Apple's S9 processors

Fab 21 Phase 1A is ramping up production.

TSMC's Fab 21 in Arizona is gradually ramping up production, and recently it began to manufacture some of AMD's Ryzen 9000-series processors for client PCs as well as some ingredients of Apple's S9 system-in-package (SiP) for smart watches, reports Tim Culpan, a well-connected journalist, citing his own sources. It is entirely possible that AMD uses a previously unknown silicon — perhaps featuring specific capabilities and aimed at select applications — to test TSMC's Fab 21 in Arizona. This week, TSMC internally invited Taiwan staff to apply for a few hundred roles in Arizona, including fab operations and equipment installation, Culpan reports citing his sources.
