According to patentlyapple, the supply chain report pointed out that TSMC will launch an enhanced version of the 3nm process in 2023, called 3nm plus, and the first customer to use this technology will be Apple.

TSMC did not disclose the difference between 3nm plus and 3nm, but it is expected to have higher transistor density, lower power consumption and higher main frequency.

According to TSMC, compared with the 5nm process, the 3nm process can increase transistor density by 70%, or increase performance by 15%, and reduce power consumption by 30%.

In addition, TSMC has recently made a major breakthrough in the 2nm process. It is expected to conduct risky trial production in the second half of 2023 and put into mass production in 2024, while continuing to advance the 1nm process.
