What you need to know

Apple A-series chipmaker TSMC published a blog post that argues chip innovation is still coming.
It pointed towards the future of 5-nanometer chips.
Apple currently uses a 7-nanometer chip, but it could introduce the first 5-nanometer chip in a couple of years.
It's none more evident than with Apple's powerful A-series chips.

Back in 1965, Intel CEO Gordon Moore related that given the advances in microchips, the power of the devices these chips were powering would double every two years thanks to better integrated transistors into circuits. TSMC, the maker of Apple's A-Series chips, still believes that is the case.

In a new blog post (via AppleInsider) titled "Moore's Law is not Dead," TSMC Head of Global Marketing Godfrey Cheng argues why he believes chip innovation is still very possible.

Here's his primary point:


  First, let's discuss the elephant in the room. Some people believe that Moore's Law is dead because they believe it is no longer possible to...
