TSMC N2 (2nm, GAA)
The next leading-edge node
N2 is TSMC's first gate-all-around (nanosheet) node, ramping in 2025-2026 and destined for the Rubin-generation accelerators. Leading-edge node access is the ultimate compute chokepoint, and N2 capacity allocation (heavily pre-booked by Apple and AI accelerator customers) defines who gets the fastest chips.
