Intel's 18A and TSMC's N2 process nodes compared: Intel is faster, but TSMC is denser


There are a few catches, though.

and SemiWiki have published key details that Intel and TSMC disclosed about their upcoming 18A (1.8nm-class) and N2 (2nm-class) process technologies at the International Electronic Devices Meeting (IEDM). Third, in their papers presented at the IEDM event, both Intel and TSMC disclosed performance, power, and transistor density advantages of their next-generation 18A and N2 manufacturing processes over their predecessors. On the other hand, Intel specializes in making high-performance processors, so 18A could be tailored for performance and power efficiency rather than HD transistor density.
