Intel to adopt TSMC's next-gen 2nm process for upcoming Nova Lake CPUs

Intel plans to build its upcoming Nova Lake CPUs on TSMC's forthcoming 2nm semiconductor process node, according to Economic Daily News. If accurate, next year's desktop PCs could be among the first devices to feature 2nm technology, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro.Read Entire Article

Intel reportedly places orders for TSMC's 2nm process · TechNode

After AMD, Intel has also placed orders with TSMC for its cutting-edge 2nm process. Intel has long been one of TSMC’s key clients for advanced nodes. Last February, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger confirmed that the company had, for the first time, outsourced the compute tiles of two processors to TSMC—these became the Intel Core Ultra 200V laptop series (Lunar Lake) and the Core Ultra 200S desktop series (Arrow Lake), its first AI PC processors. The co…

Intel Joins AMD And Apple As TSMC N2 Customer For Upcoming Nova Lake Chips

TSMC's N2 (2nm) chip fab reportedly has a new customer: Intel, who joins the ranks of AMD and Apple  tapping the Taiwanese fab goliath's bleeding edge production lines. It's not the first time that Intel and TSMC struck a deal, but it's the first time the contract is for wafers etched with diminutive 2nm transistors. The report from Economic

It's happening as it had to happen—or at least as it's been hinted at for months: Intel isn't having its Nova Lake processors, or at least their compute tiles, baked at 18A in its own foundry, but instead, according to reports in the Taiwan Economic Daily, is simply commissioning TSMC to produce them using the 2nm process. This puts Intel in the spotlight of what has become […] Source

TSMC's N2 process reportedly lands orders from Intel — Nova Lake is the likely application

Rumors suggest that Intel is contracting TSMC to utilize its N2 process node for Nova Lake, likely alongside its own 18A node.

Processors from Intel's next generation Nova Lake desktop are expected to use TSMC technology. The 2-nm test production is expected to start soon.
