Two of the world's largest foundries—Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and Samsung—announced in April that they'd climbed one more rung on the Moore's Law ladder. TSMC spoke first, saying its 5-nanometer manufacturing process is now in what's called “risk production”—the company believes it has finished the process, but initial customers are taking a chance that it will work for their designs. Samsung followed quickly with a similar announcement.
