Intel taps TSMC for hybrid N2 and 18A process

Troubled Chipzilla has taken the next step in its endless comeback saga, with its Nova Lake CPUs reportedly taped out on TSMC’s shiny N2 node. It’s the latest sign that Intel’s once-proud fabs still can’t do it all alone.

Uses gate-all-around field-effect transistors

TSMC officially introduced its N2 (2nm class) manufacturing technology, its first node that will use gate-all-around field-effect transistors (GAAFETs), at its 2022 TSMC Technology Symposium.
