Processor technology is advancing rapidly. This means that chips are becoming more powerful, smaller, and more efficient. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro Max uses a 4 nm chip. Even though 3 nm chips have not yet been released, TSMC has recently started preparing to trial-produce 2 nm chips. Here are the details…

TSMC to start 2nm chip trial production for Apple and Nvidia

TSMC is preparing to trial-produce 2 nm chips. This is a major step forward for the semiconductor industry, as it means that even more powerful and efficient chips are on the horizon. The company has sent 1,000 R&D people to work at its new factory in Taiwan. This facility is still under construction, but soon, it will be a state of the art semiconductor manufacturing plant when it is completed. TSMC plans to start mass production of 2 nm products in 2025.

TSMC’s 2nm technology is expected to significantly outperform its previous 3nm chips in terms of both speed and power consumption. Specifically, the 2nm chips will be 10-15% faster than their 3nm counterparts while using the same power voltage. Furthermore, they will consume 25-30% less power than 3nm chips when operating at the same speed. These advancements are expected to boost the performance of devices using these chips, offering faster processing speeds while consuming less energ

TSMC’s move to prepare for 2nm production may seem insignificant at first, but it’s actually a very big deal. TSMC manufactures chips for dozens of tech giants, including Apple and Nvidia. This means that 2nm production could lead to much more powerful phones, computers, graphics cards, and gaming consoles. The smaller size and less energy consumption of 2nm chips could also help to overcome overheating issues. This could make handheld consoles and gaming laptops more stable and reliable.
