Apple will “definitely use TSMC’s 2nm process” in its chips next year, according to leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo. This could lead to a price increase for Apple devices using a 2nm chip.
The 2nm process offers significant advantages over the 3nm process, including increased performance and reduced power consumption. Apple manufacturing partner TSMC says its 2nm process delivers a 15% performance gain and a 30% power improvement compared to the previous 3nm node.
This translates to faster speeds and longer battery life in devices. However, this will come at a price. The cost of a 2nm wafer is, according to estimates, $30,000, compared to $18,000 for 3nm chips.
