TSMC’s 2nm volume production: what the ‘2’ really changes
When chipmakers talk about “2 nanometers,” it’s tempting to imagine a literal measurement: a transistor that is two billionths of a meter wide. In reality, modern node names are marketing shorthand, not precise geometry. Still, when TSMC says it began 2nm volume production in the fourth quarter of 2025, it’s a meaningful milestone. It signals […]
