Leading node in volume production

What it measures

The smallest process node a foundry is mass-producing. The "nm" name is a marketing label, not a physical dimension, so we read it alongside density — but it still marks the frontier. All three leaders reached 2nm-class volume in 2025 (TSMC N2, Samsung SF2, Intel 18A); TSMC leads on yield and volume. Next target: 1.4nm-class (~2028).
