There has been a fierce competition in the smartphone world in recent years. However, with the development of technology, processors in smartphones create a separate competitive field. TSMC, one of the most important names in this field, wants to consolidate its position with the innovations it works on. The company, which has been working on 2nm processors for a while, finally approved the product.
TSMC focuses on power and efficiency with its new 2nm processor
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has officially confirmed its 2nm processor, dubbed N2. The process, which started with IBM’s success in producing processors with 2nm transistor range last year, continues with TSMC. The company has released a teaser revealing some key details about the issue.
TSMC’s 2nm processor will provide an increase in pure performance compared to its predecessor. This means it is much more efficient when used at the same power levels. The highly anticipated processors will be released in 2025. In 2026, it is expected that 2nm-based devices will enter.
The 2nm processor will be TSMC’s first processor to come with GAAFET (multidirectional field effect transistors). On the other hand, a 15 percent performance increase will be offered compared to 3nm processors. Additionally, TSMC will launch its first 3nm chips in the second half of this year.
We see that the transistor spacing is narrowing in 2nm processors. This, undoubtedly, increases energy efficiency, allowing the processor to become less hot and more performant. On the other hand, the number of transistors in processors was announced as 50 billion .
