TSMC began mass production of its 2-nanometer chips in Q4 2025, becoming the first foundry to deploy nanosheet Gate-All-Around transistor technology at high volumes, the company confirmed on January 2, 2026.
The chips, produced at facilities in Kaohsiung and Hsinchu, deliver 10% to 15% faster speeds or 25% to 30% lower power consumption compared to 3nm chips, with over 15% higher transistor density.
Apple has secured over half of initial 2nm capacity for upcoming iPhone and Mac processors, while Nvidia and AMD have also committed significant orders for AI and high-performance computing chips.
