TSMC is on track to start high-volume production of chips on N2 (2nm-class), its first production technology that relies on gate-all-around (GAA) nanosheet transistors, in the second half of this year, the company revealed at its North American Technology Symposium 2025.
This new node will enable numerous products launching next year, including AMD's next-generation EPYC 'Venice' CPUs for the data center, as well as various client-oriented processors, such as Apple's 2025 chips for smartphones, tablets, and PCs. The new 2nm node will enable tangible power savings amid higher performance and transistor density thanks to GAAFETs and enhanced power delivery. Also, follow-up process technologies — A16 and N2P — are on track for production next year.
