TSMC plans to mass produce Apple’s next-generation 2nm chip in 2025, as the prototype of the 2nm chips has recently been presented to Apple, according to the Taiwan-based media outlet DigiTimes. Apple and TSMC are closely collaborating on the development and implementation of the 2nm chip technology, aiming to surpass current 3nm chips in transistor density, performance, and efficiency. The report also revealed that TSMC is actively advancing its 2nm process node, with the first batch of equipment scheduled to enter the factory in April 2024. Moreover, TSMC is currently assessing potential factory locations with the goal of securing its position as the first manufacturer of advanced 1.4nm chips by 2027. [DigiTimes]
