TSMC CEO C.C. Wei says that the foundry will start shipping 2nm chips to customers beginning in 2026 following the release of 3nm chips next year.
The next generation of chipsets produced using the 3nm process node won't start being widely used inside smartphones and other mobile devices until next year. But when you are in the business of manufacturing complex chipsets with each containing billions of transistors, you have to start building fabs and other facilities years in advance.
Typically, the smaller the process node, the larger the number of transistors that fit inside a chip. And as the number of transistors inside chips grows , chips become more powerful and energy-efficient.This week, TSMC CEO C.C. Wei discussed the foundry's plans for its 2nm process node known as N2.
Despite that two-three year lead for Samsung Foundry, TSMC's Wei says that its first-generation GAA will be the best technology available."We expect our N2 […] to be the best technology, [delivering] maturity, performance, and cost for our customers," said Wei."We are confident that N2 will continue our technology leadership to support our customer growth."and Intel, TSMC is working at a more deliberate pace for its 3nm and 2nm production.
Intel has been extremely aggressive in making forecasts. Back in October, Intel Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger, taking over from TSMC and Samsung by 2025. Talking about Moore's Law, the observation made by Fairchild and Intel co-founder Gordon Moore that calls for the number of transistors in a chip to double every other year, Gelsinger said,"Moore's law is alive and well. Today we are predicting that we will maintain or even go faster than Moore's law for the next decade. We as the stewards of Moore's Law will be relentless in our path to innovate.
