TSMC will lead markets in 2nm Revolution

On track for 2025

TSMC will mass-produce its 2nm process by 2025 according to a new company statement.

The outfit said, " When it is introduced in 2025, TSMC N2 technology will be the most advanced technology in the semiconductor industry in both density and energy efficiency."

Apple, the fruity cargo cult, has spent a lot of dollars to be one of the first customers for this new process. It plans to debut it in its M5 chips for Macs, future iPad models, and the next-gen iPhone 18 lineup.

In the PC market, Intel and Nvidia are also expected to adopt TSMC's 2nm node. Intel potentially uses it for its upcoming "Nova Lake" CPUs, and Nvidia employs it in its AI lineups ahead of the Rubin architecture.

The 2nm process is expected to revolutionise the market, with TSMC's previous-generation nodes, such as 3nm and 5nm, already in high demand.

In its recent update, TSMC revealed: "Major customers completed 2nm IP design and started silicon validation. TSMC also developed low-resistance RDL (redistribution layer) and super high-performance metal-insulator-metal (MiM) capacitors to further boost performance."

Once the 2nm process hits the market, it is anticipated to generate leading revenue, potentially surpassing all other nodes if the hype can be sustained.

TSMC's dominance in the semiconductor market is evident, with competitors struggling to match the Taiwan giant's achievements.
