TSMC could start mass producing 1.6nm chips as soon as late 2026
TSMC may have already gone beyond 2nm.
TSMC, the world's largest contract chip maker, is reportedly on the verge of mass producing 1.6nm chips as early as late 2026, according to a report from Liberty Times (via Chosun). This development comes as chip manufacturers race to catch up with IBM's groundbreaking sub-nm architecture. IBM recently showcased its sub-nm technology, but estimates it will take five years for their design to be ready for production.
In contrast, TSMC has reportedly finalized the development and verification of its angstrom-class A16 (1.6nm) process, signaling their potential lead in the race towards the next generation of chip manufacturing.
