TSMC has reported a successful trial run of its 2nm N2 process, achieving a yield rate of 60%. The results exceeded expectations, indicating maturity in this advanced technology.
Subsequent to the successful trials, TSMC plans to begin mass production of its 2nm chips in Kaohsiung next year, with major clients like Apple and Nvidia ready to procure these advanced chips.
While initial expectations placed the 2nm debut chip in the iPhone 17 Pro, recent developments indicate that the first implementation will be in the iPhone 18 Pro, slated for release in 2026.
Reports suggest that the cost of chips produced with TSMC's 2nm process could be significantly higher, with estimates indicating a price of around $30,000 per wafer, reflecting the advanced manufacturing capabilities.
