World’s Smallest Chip To Hit Markets In Sept

Taipei: Fabless semiconductor company MediaTek will begin production of world’s smallest 2 nanometer chips from September this year, a senior official of the company said on Tuesday.

At present, the smallest chip in production is of 3 nanometer size. “We are now moving into 2 nanometers. We will be taking out our first 2 nanometers device in September this year. Of course, this is a high-volume chip,” MediaTek Vice Chairman and CEO Rick Tsai said at global tech event Computex. Tarun Pathak, Research Director, Counterpoint Research said MediaTek’s announcement that its first 2nm chip will be “taped out” in September is a significant achievement, highlighting its strengthening partnership with industry leaders like TSMC.
