2nm Race Heats Up Samsung, TSMC, Intel Lead

The Race to 2nm: Samsung, TSMC, and Intel Charge into the Future of Chip Technology In the world of semiconductors, size matters—and smaller is better. The global chipmaking titans, TSMC, Samsung Electronics, and Intel, are fiercely racing to commercialize the next-generation chip technologies: the 2-nanometer (2nm) and 1.8-nanometer (1.8nm) processes. With target production dates set for the latter half of 2025, these breakthroughs are expected to reshape the tech landscape in mobile computing, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing. TSMC Leads the Foundry Market Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world’s largest and most dominant foundry player with a commanding 67.6% market share, has already begun accepting orders for its 2nm chips.

Die Shots of Apple A18 and A18 Pro Reveal Two Distinct Designs

Apple introduced the A18 and A18 Pro just in time for the iPhone 16 series, with the Pro version featuring a more powerful GPU designed for demanding graphical tasks such as augmented reality, 3D rendering, and ray tracing. Recent images of the actual chips have surfaced online, revealing that the two platforms have significant differences, even though both are manufactured by TSMC using the same 3 nm process technology. GPU (Graphics Processing Unit): A specialized electronic circuit designed to accelerate the creation and rendering of images, animations, and video for display. It is particularly effective for tasks that involve complex graphical computations, such as gaming and visual effects. TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company): A leading semiconductor manufacturing...
