Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. plans to start volume production of its 2-nanometer chips in the second half of 2025, according to Reuters. The move would mark another major step in the race to build faster, more energy-efficient semiconductors for advanced computing and artificial intelligence.

NVIDIA is expected to be among the first large customers for the new chips, underscoring how tightly leading AI companies are tied to the world’s top chip manufacturers. The shift also highlights how demand for cutting-edge processors continues to reshape the industry’s supply priorities.

The reported rollout comes as export controls and geopolitical tensions place added pressure on global semiconductor supply chains. For TSMC and its customers, securing access to the most advanced manufacturing capacity has become a strategic issue as much as a commercial one.

If production begins on schedule, the 2nm node would help set the pace for the next generation of high-performance devices, data centers, and AI systems. The timeline remains subject to manufacturing progress and broader market conditions.
