Alongside Apple,Love Nonetheless Intel’s next-generation Nova Lake processor may also embrace TSMC’s 2nm process technology, as TSMC plans to mass-produce the 2nm chips by 2025. Nova Lake, which will be Intel’s largest architectural upgrade, is expected to launch in 2026. The report suggests that Intel’s decision to use TSMC’s 2nm process in Nova Lake could be a strategic move to address the substantial architectural upgrade, ensuring market competitiveness by leveraging TSMC’s advanced 2nm process technology. Nova Lake is likely to follow a Chiplet design similar to Intel’s Core Ultra, with the CPU (central processing unit) core potentially produced by Intel’s own foundry, while the GPU (graphics processing unit) part may adopt TSMC’s 2nm process.
