After AMD, Intel has additionally positioned orders with TSMC for its cutting-edge 2nm course of. Intel has lengthy been certainly one of TSMC’s key shoppers for superior nodes. Final February, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger confirmed that the corporate had, for the primary time, outsourced the compute tiles of two processors to TSMC—these turned the Intel Core Extremely 200V laptop computer collection (Lunar Lake) and the Core Extremely 200S desktop collection (Arrow Lake), its first AI PC processors. The compute tiles have been produced utilizing TSMC’s N3B course of, GPU tiles with N5P, and SoC/I/O tiles with N6. Now, Intel and TSMC are reportedly collaborating on a 2nm product, which is extensively alleged to be the compute tile for Intel’s next-gen Nova Lake PC processors, anticipated in 2026. [Icsmart]
