➀ TechInsights and SemiWiki revealed key details about Intel's 18A (1.8nm) and TSMC's N2 (2nm) process technologies at the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM).

➁ Intel 18A offers higher performance, while TSMC N2 may provide higher transistor density.

➂ TSMC N2 can reduce power consumption by 24% to 35% compared to the previous generation, while Intel 18A has the highest performance among 2nm process technologies.

➃ TSMC's N2 has a higher density of high-density logic unit transistors, with a density of 313 MTx/mm2, followed by Intel with 238 MTx/mm2 and Samsung with 231 Mtx/mm2.

➄ TSMC's N2 is expected to have an average yield rate of >80% for 256Mb SRAM arrays, with a peak yield rate of >90%.

➅ Intel 18A is scheduled to enter mass production in mid-2025, while TSMC's N2 is planned for late 2025.
