As 2025 draws closer, more details about Apple’s 2nm process plans are expected to emerge.
Why It Matters: In July 2021, it was reported that TSMC, a key Apple supplier, received approval to construct its most advanced 2nm chip facility in Hsinchu, Taiwan. The construction was slated to begin in early 2022, with production equipment installation planned for 2023.
According to Macworld, TSMC has been developing a 2nm chip process that was demonstrated to Apple and other clients. The company previously projected that mass production of 2nm chips would be ready by 2025, boasting of having the “most advanced semiconductor technology in the industry in both density and energy efficiency” at its introduction.
