Core Insights - NVIDIA has confirmed it is the first and only customer for TSMC's A16 process node, which is expected to begin mass production in the second half of 2026 and will be used for the Feynman series GPU planned for release in 2028 [1][3]. Group 1: A16 Process Node - The A16 process node features significant technical advantages, including an 8% to 10% speed improvement, a 15% to 20% reduction in power consumption, and a 7% to 10% increase in chip density compared to the N2P process [3]. - The A16 process utilizes a Nanosheet transistor structure and introduces Super Power Rail (SPR) backside power delivery technology, optimized for AI acceleration and high-performance computing (HPC) markets [3]. Group 2: NVIDIA's Product Roadmap - NVIDIA's CEO has outlined a four-year AI GPU roadmap, which includes the Blackwell Ultra in 2025, Rubin in 2026, Rubin Ultra in 2027, and Feynman in 2028 [3][4]. - Feynman GPU is anticipated to be a groundbreaking product following the Blackwell architecture, serving as a core strategic product for NVIDIA in AI and HPC sectors [4]. Group 3: Production Plans - TSMC's Kaohsiung P3 factory is set to begin large-scale production in 2027 to align with NVIDIA's product roadmap [2]. - NVIDIA has also placed substantial orders for TSMC's 3nm wafers for the production of the Rubin and Rubin Ultra GPU series [3].
