MediaTek introduced that it’s among the many first firms to associate with TSMC to efficiently develop a chip that includes the improved N2P course of, taping out MediaTek’s flagship system-on-chip (SoC) with quantity manufacturing anticipated late subsequent yr.

Marking a brand new milestone within the robust partnership between MediaTek and TSMC, this long-standing collaboration continues to yield excessive efficiency, power-efficient chipsets for purchasers in flagship cell, compute, automotive, knowledge middle purposes and extra.

TSMC’s 2nm expertise is the primary to undertake nanosheet transistor construction, and N2P represents the subsequent evolution within the 2nm household, set to ship improved efficiency and energy effectivity. The primary chipset using the brand new TSMC N2P course of is anticipated to be obtainable in late 2026.

In contrast with the current-generation N3E course of, N2P customers can count on to see as a lot as an 18% improve in efficiency on the identical energy, an roughly 36% energy discount on the identical velocity, and a 1.2x improve in logic density.

“MediaTek’s improvements powered by TSMC’s 2nm expertise underscores our trade management, as we proceed to push ahead with essentially the most superior semiconductor course of applied sciences obtainable for a wide range of gadgets and purposes,” mentioned Joe Chen, President of MediaTek. “Our lengthy historical past of shut collaboration with TSMC has led to unimaginable developments in options for our world prospects, providing the best efficiency and energy effectivity from the sting to the cloud.”

“N2P represents a major step ahead within the nanosheet period for TSMC, demonstrating our relentless dedication to fulfilling our prospects’ wants – tuning and enhancing our applied sciences to ship energy-efficient computing functionality,” mentioned Dr. Kevin Zhang, Senior VP of Enterprise Growth and International Gross sales and Deputy Co-COO of TSMC. “Our ongoing collaboration with MediaTek focuses on maximizing enhanced efficiency and energy capabilities throughout a variety of purposes.”
