"The N2 node has 15 or so customers doing designs," said Ahmad Khan, President of KLA's combined product and customer organization, Semiconductor Products and Customers, at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference 2025. […] We think the N2 node will probably be the largest over the first three years or so, node from an overall design point of view." In recent years, TSMC has emphasized that its N2 (2nm-class) fabrication technology is more popular than its N3 (3nm-class) and N5 (5nm-class) manufacturing processes at the same stage of development. Traditionally, Apple has been the earliest adopter of TSMC's leading-edge fabrication technologies, staying ahead of the industry by at least a year. However, AMD and MediaTek have formally confirmed plans to ramp up their N2-based server and client processors in 2026.
