At the Open Innovation Platform Ecosystem Forum, TSMC presented its technology roadmap, emphasizing the challenges of node development and balancing performance with energy efficiency amidst the increasing AI workloads. TSMC announced that its N2 process has entered mass production, with volume production expected in the second half of 2025 and accelerated production in 2026. Meanwhile, the N2P process is scheduled to begin scaling up in the second half of 2026. Compared to N2, N2P reduces power consumption by 5% to 10% at the same frequency and transistor count, or enhances performance by 5% to 10% at the same power consumption and transistor count. Additionally, TSMC announced that the A16 process will commence production in late 2026. This process incorporates Super Power Rail architecture, namely backside power delivery technology, offering an 8% to 10% speed increase at the same operating voltage or a 15% to 20% reduction in power consumption at the same speed compared to N2P, while also increasing density by 1.1 times.
