TSMC's 2nm N2 process node enters production this year, A16 and N2P arriving next year


And N2X follows in 2027.

This new node will enable numerous products launching next year, including AMD's next-generation EPYC 'Venice' CPUs for the data center, as well as various client-oriented processors, such as Apple's 2025 chips for smartphones, tablets, and PCs. TSMC says that N2's transistor performance is close to target and 256Mb SRAM blocks are achieving over 90% average yield, which signals strong process maturity as N2 moves toward volume ramp. In addition to N2, N2P, and A16, TCMC will also offer N2X, the ultimate version of N2, with enhanced voltage tolerance to enable maximum clock speeds, albeit at the cost of increased power consumption.
