NVIDIA is reportedly the only customer in line for TSMC’s next-gen A16 process technology, eyeing it for future GPUs such as Feynman.
NVIDIA Feynman GPUs To Leverage TSMC’s A16 (1.6nm) Process Technology
In a report by DigiTimes, it is once again claimed that NVIDIA is the first and only customer in line for TSMC’s next-gen A16 process technology. This process tech will lay the foundation of NVIDIA’s next-generation GPUs, such as Feynman, which will succeed the upcoming Rubin 2026 & Rubin Ultra 2027 GPU lineups.
Given the growing demand for chips within the AI sector, NVIDIA is ramping up its Blackwell Ultra chips while also prompting TSMC to speed up its P3 plant, which will play a key role in mass-producing Rubin chips. These chips are said to leverage TSMC’s 3nm process technology, a step up from the 4NP tech in use by Blackwell and Blackwell Ultra chips. Last month, it was estimated that TSMC’s 3nm production can hit up to 160,000 wafer units by the end of this year.
If these estimations are accurate, then it goes in line with what NVIDIA’s CEO, Jensen Huang, stated during GTC US 2025. He said that next-generation Vera Rubin Superchips are all set for production in 2026, and given the speedy production, they can be sent out as early as Q3 2026.
It is understood that NVIDIA is currently the only customer for the A16 process, and the Kaohsiung P3 plant will begin mass production in 2027 in response to NVIDIA’s product…
