TSMC has completed an important stage in the 2nm production process. Trial production at the Baoshan and Kaohsiung facilities in Taiwan has been successfully completed, and it has been confirmed that the mass production process will begin earlier than planned.

TSMC is nearing the end of the 2nm production process

The delivery date for the first orders, previously planned for 2026, has been brought forward to the end of 2025 due to new developments. It is stated that production efficiency has increased to over 60 percent, and a monthly production capacity of 80 thousand wafers is expected to be reached by the end of the year.

It is said that 2nm chips will provide a performance increase of up to 15 percent in current power consumption and will operate up to 30 percent more efficiently. In addition, a 15 percent improvement is expected in density. These developments have increased the demand for 2nm production. But they have caused many more customers to line up compared to the previous generation 3nm process.

Apple, one of TSMC’s largest customers, maintains its priority position in the 2nm process. The entire production capacity of the Baoshan facility is reserved for Apple. The Kaohsiung facility will produce for companies such as AMD, Intel and Broadcom. Samsung, one of the biggest competitors, was able to reach a 30 percent efficiency in production for the Exynos 2600.

TSMC’s production capacity expansion efforts continue at full speed. The company, which is preparing to establish its third factory in the US to produce 1.6 nm chips, maintains its leadership position in global chip production. So what do you think about this?
