TSMC has confirmed that its groundbreaking 2nm process is on schedule for mass production in 2025. The Taiwanese semiconductor giant is experiencing "all-time high" demand for the advanced node, with major clients like Apple and NVIDIA already engaged in silicon validation.
TSMC expects the 2nm process to be a major leap forward in density and energy efficiency:
Major customers completed 2nm IP design and started silicon validation...TSMC N2 technology will be the most advanced technology in the semiconductor industry in both density and energy efficiency, when it is introduced in 2025. - TSMC
Apple is reportedly a major customer for the 2nm process, potentially using it in future M5 chips for Macs and iPads, as well as the iPhone 18. In the PC market, both Intel and NVIDIA are expected to adopt the 2nm node, with Intel potentially utilizing it for "Nova Lake" CPUs and NVIDIA for its AI lineup ahead of the Rubin architecture.
The high demand for TSMC's 2nm process further solidifies its leading position in the semiconductor industry.
