>Mass production of the eagerly anticipated 2nm chips is likely by 2025 at HSP’s Baoshan facility in Hsinchu. The 2nm chips are touted as allowing for 10% to 15% faster computing speed and using 25% to 30% less power compared to the company's 3nm silicon.

Basically, this won't even happen for at least 5-10 Years. Since 2nm won't be mass produced until 2025 - assuming everything goes perfectly - which I'm skeptical about given the limits of technology at these scales.

I don't know.... does TSMS have a plan when node shrinks are literally impossible? I get they're are the forefront of this manufacturing process, but what happens when things shift to new fabrication processes because of literally physical limits?

Tsmc has a good reputation and history of delivering on time.

When nodes get too small you then focus on material science.

They’ll do it too, I don’t see what problem you’re trying to convey here, they’ll just adapt to whatever pops out, and so will all other chip manufacturers
