Sources have told Taiwan outlet Economic Daily that TSMC has started pre-production work on 2nm semiconductors, a crucial step toward trial production. The company's current timeline could keep it ahead of competitors like Intel and Samsung.

 

Reportedly, TSMC has sent engineers and support workers to the Baoshan, Taiwan Zhuke R&D plant to prepare for 2nm trial production, aiming to produce 1,000 wafers this year. The company declined to comment on the information. Previously confirmed roadmaps indicate plans for 2nm trial production in 2024, with mass production coming in 2025.

 

Interestingly, Economic Daily sources say TSMC's manufacturing process utilizes an AI-enhanced method called AutoDMP which is powered by Nvidia's DGX H100 chips. The AI optimizes chip designs 30 times faster than other techniques, improving energy efficiency and decreasing carbon emissions.

Just going off the title, my first thought was "They're gonna get this big azz chip back and the AI will argue that that IS 2 nm and then end the conversation because they're being judgemental.   After reading the story it made more sense.
