TSMC, Intel, Samsung ramp 2nm chip production, eye 1.4nm nodes

TSMC, Intel, and Samsung are all initiating mass production of chips using 2nm-class process technology, with Samsung leading in mid-2025, followed by Intel and TSMC later that year. These foundries are shifting from traditional node scaling to a more specialized approach, with TSMC focusing on predictable scaling and specialization, Samsung on yield improvement, and Intel pursuing the most aggressive roadmap including GAA transistors and backside power delivery.

    Leading-edge foundry roadmaps for TSMC, Intel and Samsung — outlining the path to 1.4nm nodes and beyond

    All three leading foundries have now entered the 2nm era, but their paths from now on diverge sharply: TSMC bets on predictability, Intel wagers on aggressive architectural shifts, and Samsung's primary focus is on improving yields.
