Hi,

TSMC's 2nm (N2) node and the 7 GHz target
represent a monumental milestone in silicon
manufacturing, shifting away from legacy
FinFETs to advanced Gate-All-Around (GAA)
nanosheet transistors.

This evolution allows chip designers—particularly
in the PC and AI sectors—to push processor
clock speeds previously thought impossible
on standard nodes

AMD confirms Zen 6 rollout for its July 22 AI event

Production of the 6th Gen EPYC family is
already ramping up. AMD says Venice is its
first high-performance computing product
manufactured using TSMC’s 2nm process
technology.

Bye
