Rumors suggest it is being fabricated by TSMC, as its transistor count falls below the 30-billion-transistor limit imposed by the U.S. government.
This seems plausible to me. Intel 3 doesn't currently have major customers like Xiaomi, Samsung's yield is still low, and if SMIC does have a 3nm process, their top priority would likely be Huawei.
TSMC N3. Xiaomi has been using TSMC since 28nm but they still buy QCOM SOCs. Kind of like Samsung. MediaTek recently taped out a TSMC N2 SoC skipping Intel 18A for now.

Yes, the presentation slide indicates in Chinese that it is a second-generation 3nm process, which corresponds to N3E—TSMC's second-generation 3nm node following N3B. Intel 3, on the other hand, does not have a second generation.
