TSMC considers producing next-generation 3D DRAM for Nvidia
Taiwan-based TSMC is considering making next-generation 3D DRAM after a request from US chipmaker Nvidia, according to a report.
TSMC has begun drawing up a plan, based on information from two people familiar with the matter.
DRAM is short-term memory that temporarily stores data used in computing.
The proposed 3D DRAM would be a next-generation form of that memory.
The possible production could support Nvidia's demand for advanced memory, though the reported plan is still under consideration.
No production start date or way to secure the necessary equipment has been disclosed.
The next steps and timing remain unclear.
