Are there any fabs that can compete with TSMC? Or EUV equipment manufacturers that can compete with ASML?

ytch on Nov 18, 2020 [–]

from density (MT/mm2):

TSMC 5nm: 173.1

Samsung 5nm: 126.5

Intel 10nm: 100.8

Intel 7nm: 202 (estimated [1])

Therefore TSMC is still the best in density right now.
