With 5nm production on schedule, TSMC is expected to be ready for the future and to be prepared against the likes of Samsung and Intel. In order to keep its partners and other clients happy, TSMC has been reported to invest $20 billion in a 3nm chip production facility.

No Word on When Project Will Be Completed – Previous Report Detailed That Plant Should Be Operational by 2022

An earlier report retains the same information stated in the fresh one, with TSMC saying it would build a semiconductor fabrication plant in Taiwan dedicated to the 3nm technology. Bloomberg had reported that the 3nm production would be ready for use, although now the company has not detailed as to when the plant will be open for business.
 
TSMC has also reported that risk production of the 5nm node will commence during the first half of 2019 and construction of the fab will begin early next year.

    I can find no info about Intel's plans but it looks like Samsung is on target for roughly the same die shrinks.
