TSMC N3E Yields Ahead of Schedule

If memory serves N3E was basically a relaxed N3 for better manufacturability and higher clocks, so it would not surprise me if it was doing well. TSMC hit a speed bump with N3, but despite the noise, it seems TSMC has recovered and as a result there is no reason to suspect that follow ups are going to be hurt by cascading delays. TSMC may be relatively secretive, but I think they have earned a good measure of trust and good faith (unlike Samsung and Intel). If TSMC says major N3 products will ship next fall then I have no reason to doubt them, and I also would have no reason to doubt N3E will follow close behind.
