At IEDM held in December 2024, TSMC presented: “2nm Platform Technology featuring Energy-efficient Nanosheet Transistors and Interconnects co-optimized with 3DIC for AI, HPC and Mobile SoC Applications,” the authors are: Once 3nm entered production we were able to run our proprietary forensics on TSMC’s financials and determine we were correct, and the volume price was <$20,000/wafer by thousands of dollars. There have also been reports that Apple who is typically TSMC’s lead customer for each node may be forgoing initial 2nm use due to price although we have also heard push back on that.
