Overview
- Commercial Times–cited reports say Qualcomm’s next Snapdragon and MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 are targeting TSMC’s improved N2P 2nm node, while Apple’s A20 line is linked to the initial N2.
- TSMC’s N2P wafers are reportedly slated to reach mass production in the second half of 2026 following the foundry’s first 2nm tape-out.
- MediaTek says it has completed a 2nm tape-out and is aiming for a late‑2026 launch of its first 2nm chipset.
- Analysts expect scarce early 2nm output of about 15,000 to 20,000 wafers per month, with earlier reports that Apple secured a large initial share.
- Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station claims Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 will ship in standard and Pro versions—the Pro adding LPDDR6 and different GPU specs—though other sources dispute both the N2P move and final details.
