New details of TSMC's next-gen N2 chip tech aren't totally stellar but could provide a roadmap for new GPUs right through to 2031

Everyone's favorite uber chip foundry TSMC has been dishing the deets on its next-gen node, known as N2 (via Tom's Hardware). And the take home is that its both more efficient and more dense than TSMC's current N3 tech, but perhaps not dramatically so.
