Taiwan-based semiconductor manufacturer TSMC starts 2 nm chip production. This technology, called N2, will be put into mass production in 2025. According to the information revealed today, he made a demonstration to Apple, his biggest customer. So when will Apple switch to 2 nanometer processors?
Apple is switching to 2 nanometer processor with iPhone 17 Pro in 2025!
TSMC presented its industry-leading 2 nanometer chip production technology to Apple executives. This new technology is expected to be used in A19 and M5 mobile processors in 2025. So we will see it in the iPhone 17 Pro series and M5 Mac family.
This shows that current 3 nanometer production will continue until the end of 2024. Therefore, it has been confirmed that the iPhone 16 Pro series and the M4 Mac family will be produced with the existing 3 nanometer technology. So what will 2 nanometer architecture bring?
Apple announced the most downloaded applications and games of 2023
Following the announcement of the 2023 App Store Award winners last month, Apple has now announced the most popular applications of the year.
Apple A15 Pro and M3 processors currently used in the iPhone 15 Pro/Max and the new MacBook Pro family are based on TSMC’s 2 nanometer (N3) production. These chips have a transistor density of 183 MTr/mm². TSMC has a total of 4 different 3-nanometer production technologies.
The newest of these, N3E, has also entered mass production and has a transistor density of 215.6 MTr/mm². N2, which has a 2 nanometer production process, has a transistor density of approximately 259 MTr/mm². Therefore, the impact of the difference in rise between the two processes is clearly visible.
