TSMC reportedly started mass production of Apple's A14 Bionic chips earlier this year. The company apparently has three versions of its 5nm node available for various partners. The regular 5nm, 5nm+, and enhanced 5nm manufacturing process are said to be ready for different clients but it's not confirmed which one Apple will be using for its A14 Bionic. Regardless of which manufacturing node Apple chooses, a tipster believes TSMC has a massive shipment ready for Apple but whether or not these chips are only meant for one product, we’ll find out soon.

According to Twitter user L0vetodream, TSMC has a huge ‘A14’ chips shipment prepped for Apple. However, L0vetodream didn’t specify which A14 will be made for which product. Keep in mind that there just isn’t a single product line that’s expected to use a silicon starting with the model number ‘A14’. There’s the upcoming iPhone 12 series, which will probably be using the A14 Bionic, followed by the new iPad Pro family, which will use the A14X Bionic rumored to be made on the same 5nm manufacturing process.
