TSMC fabs that will make chips using its 1nm-class production nodes will be located near Longtan Science Park near Taoyuan, said Shen Jong-chin, vice prime minister of Taiwan, in an interview with Economic Daily (opens in new tab) (via Dan Nystedt (opens in new tab)).Of course, TSMC's plans have to be made official, and a lot may change by the time the world's largest foundry commits to the plan, but it looks like the company has already disclosed its general intentions to Taiwanese politicians.N2 will be another long node for TSMC, and the company will offer multiple versions of the node, including those with gate-all-around transistors and backside power delivery.TSMC N5 is certainly a great achievement, but actual max logic density is around 137,6 MTr/mm2Intel 10mn SuperFin process node achieves max logic density 100.8 MTr/mm2 (rouhgly in ballpark of TSMC N7 process)so yeah it's one generation behind atm, but certainly not as far some would make you believe.Same story with so called 1nm is basically equivalent of 2 large molecules ;) till we know what real cell height is and actual min fin pitch, it's all just hot air ;)"
