TSMC is on the verge of redefining chip manufacturing yet again, as its 2nm process is showing exceptional yield rates that outpace the competition.
The Taiwanese semiconductor titan is reportedly hitting a solid 60% yield rate with its 2nm node – far ahead of Samsung’s 40%, and leaving Intel even further behind. These yield levels mean TSMC is not only ready for stable mass production but is also setting a new bar in the foundry race.
This puts TSMC in pole position to win over major customers like Apple, NVIDIA, and AMD, who are all lined up to leverage the cutting-edge process. AMD has confirmed its upcoming EPYC Venice server CPUs will be built on TSMC’s 2nm technology, marking a bold shift into the future for its server products.
Samsung, while being the first to adopt Gate-All-Around (GAA) architecture, has struggled to capitalize on its early start. Though its yields are improving gradually, it’s clear that TSMC is sprinting far ahead. With the gap in yield rates and process maturity, Samsung is shaping up to be more of a secondary supplier – assuming it can stabilize its own production soon.
With performance-hungry markets like AI and high-performance computing demanding more from their chips, TSMC’s dominance ensures it remains the top pick for companies that want speed, efficiency, and cutting-edge fabrication. While the rest of the industry races to catch up, TSMC is quietly (and efficiently) building the next wave of computing power.
It’s a new era – and TSMC is already there.
