Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer TSMC is preparing to build a giant 1 nm processor factory. The new factory, which will have the Giga Fabs designation, will have 6 separate production lines. In addition to 1 nm, the factory will also produce 1.4 nm and 2 nm processors. But when will this giant factory be commissioned?
When will TSMC Giga Fabs be commissioned for 1 nm processor production?
In the processor world, the nm level is now preparing to go down to the 1 nm level. For now, it will take 2030 to reach this level. In this sense, TSMC has focused on both increasing its current 2 nm fabrication capacity and transitioning to 1.4 nm and 1 nm technology.
Accordingly, the company will make this major investment in Taiwan’s Tainan region. The Taiwan government plans to make the Tainan region a kind of Silicon Valley in this sense. In this sense, TSMC will also receive government incentives for the Giga Fabs to be established in the region.

The giant factory, which will consist of exactly 6 different production facilities, will be ready in 2030. It is planned to produce 12-inch wafers in this giant factory.
The latest reports allow us to take a closer look at the camera details of the upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra model.
For the moment, technology giants are preparing to switch to 2 nm processors. TSMC, which has difficulty keeping up with orders, especially with the effect of artificial intelligence, is seeking to get more share of the pie with new facilities instead of losing the market to its competitors. Recently, Nvidia has started working with TSMC for new artificial intelligence processors.
The fact that Intel and Samsung are lagging behind on the processor production side also strengthens TSMC’s hand. In this sense, the company is looking to open its factory in Germany in 2027 to produce 2 nm processors. Again in Japan, TSMC’s joint processor factory project with Japanese companies is also ongoing.
For now, we will have to wait 5 years for processors to reach the next level. Although Intel is currently trying to switch to 2nm processor production, Samsung is not yet sufficient even in 3nm processor performance. TSMC will first reduce 2nm processor production to 1.4 nm in existing facilities. This is expected to find 2027. In 2030, the first 1 nm processor production is expected to start.
