TSMC and the Race for 2nm Capacity

TSMC's transition to 2nm manufacturing is a significant development in the semiconductor industry, with the N2 process offering improved performance and power efficiency. The company faces challenges in scaling capacity to meet demand from AI, HPC, and mobile devices, with initial production fully booked for 2026 by major customers like Apple and AMD. TSMC plans significant investments in advanced manufacturing to expand 2nm production, with projections suggesting potential monthly wafer output exceeding 100,000 by late 2026 and 200,000 by 2028. However, challenges such as infrastructure investments, yield ramp issues, and supply chain constraints complicate the scaling process.

AMD Zen 6 'Venice' ES chips break cover with up to 192 cores, 32 per CCD, in early stress test — Kenya, Congo, Nigeria platforms leaked

AMD Zen 6 'Venice' ES chips break cover with up to 192 cores, 32 per CCD, in early stress test — Kenya, Congo, Nigeria platforms leaked

Engineering samples of AMD's upcoming EPYC Zen 6 datacenter CPUs, codenamed Venice, have been revealed with up to 192 cores, 32 per CCD, in early stress tests. The samples were tested on platforms codenamed Congo, Kenya, and Nigeria, showcasing different core counts and configurations. These chips are expected to use Zen 6 cores with higher-density CCDs compared to Zen 5, potentially housing up to 12 Zen 6 cores per CCD. Zen 6 is set to launch in 2027 with up to 256 cores, significant memory bandwidth improvements, and increased core counts for both Zen 6 and Zen 6c. AMD has not disclosed details about Zen 6 in consumer platforms yet.

First credible leak of an AMD Zen 6 processor pops up on Geekbench — ten-core CPU seems to have 32MB of L3 cache

A leak on Geekbench suggests the first sighting of an AMD Zen 6 processor, likely for next-gen mobile devices. The processor is a ten-core CPU with 32MB of L3 cache, a configuration not seen in current AMD mobile processors. The leak points to a chiplet design for the Zen 6 processor, potentially including low-power CPU cores. While the benchmark results show low clock rates, it's too early to draw conclusions, but AMD is expected to launch Zen 6 architecture this year with EPYC 'Venice' processors first. Consumer parts like Medusa Point mobile chips and Olympic Ridge desktop parts may follow later.
