TSMC's next-gen 2nm silicon is reportedly on track for later this year but don't expect chips for PCs until 2027 and beyond

TSMC 3nm.

The ongoing viability of Moore's law is up for debate. But it seems Taiwanese megfab TSMC is determined to crank out new silicon regardless. The latest reports claim TSMC's next-gen 2nm chip node, branded N2, is set for volume production later this year. However, it's unlikely we'll see TSMC N2 chips in our PCs until at the very earliest 2026 and maybe even 2027 and beyond.

According to Chinese news site UDN, progress with N2 at TSMC's "Kaohsiung" or North fab is going better than expected, allowing the company to stick to plans going back to 2023 for mass production later this year.
