TSMC Planning Next-Gen 2nm and 1.4nm Chips for Future Apple Silicon
- TSMC making progress on 2nm and 1.4nm chips likely for future Apple silicon; 2nm production to start in 2024 and 1.4nm in 2027
- Apple historically first to use TSMC's latest chip fabrication technologies, so likely to adopt 2nm and 1.4nm
- Outlines expected timeline of iPhone chip fabrication technology from A12 in 2018 to potential A21 in 1.4nm in 2027
- Each new TSMC node brings increases in transistor density, performance and efficiency
- In late 2022, TSMC already demonstrated 2nm prototype chips to Apple ahead of 2025 introduction
