TSMC has confirmed N2 (2nm-class GAA nanosheet) is on track for mass production in 2025. Apple A20 chip series is identified as the lead customer. N2 delivers approximately 10-15% performance uplift over N3E at similar power. [est.]
Data is estimated / forward-looking. Requires quarterly refresh.
TSMC is accelerating CoWoS-L and CoWoS-S capacity expansion to meet AI GPU packaging demand. Analyst estimates suggest capacity targeting approximately 3x 2023 levels by end of 2025. CoWoS remains a single-source constraint for AI GPU production. [DEMO est.]

Cerebras Systems has made its WSE-3 wafer-scale AI accelerator generally available. At 125,000 TFLOPS (FP16) and 44GB on-chip SRAM, the WSE-3 eliminates HBM dependency and CoWoS packaging constraints. TSMC N5 full-wafer production. [DEMO est.]
TSMC's first US fab in Phoenix, Arizona has entered volume production on the N4P process node. Apple is the lead customer for A16 chip production. The facility represents a $12B investment supported by the US CHIPS and Science Act.
Confirmed against primary source.
NVIDIA has begun shipping GB200 NVL72 rack-scale systems to major cloud providers including Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS. CoWoS-L packaging constraints and HBM3e allocation remain key limiting factors on supply volumes. [DEMO est.]
Confirmed against primary source.
SK Hynix announced that its HBM3e (12-hi, 36GB per stack) production capacity is effectively fully allocated through end of 2025, with NVIDIA as the primary customer. Micron and Samsung are ramping alternative supply but face qualification lead times. [DEMO est.]
Confirmed against primary source.
Intel Foundry has confirmed that Intel 18A — featuring RibbonFET gate-all-around transistors and PowerVia backside power delivery — has entered risk production at its Chandler, Arizona fabs. This is a key milestone for Intel's foundry turnaround strategy. [est.]
Confirmed against primary source.
TSMC secured a $6.6B direct grant and up to $5B in loans under the CHIPS and Science Act for its three planned Arizona fabs (N4P, N2, and A16 phases). Production on Phase 2 (N2) is targeted for 2028. [Public record]
Confirmed against primary source.
AMD's MI300X accelerator with 192GB HBM3 is gaining significant traction as an H100/H200 alternative for large-context AI inference workloads. Microsoft Azure, Oracle, and Meta have publicly confirmed MI300X deployments. [DEMO est.]
Confirmed against primary source.
Microsoft announced plans to invest approximately $80B in AI-capable datacenter infrastructure in fiscal year 2025, with over half allocated to US facilities. The investment is focused on training large AI models and deploying Azure AI services globally. [DEMO est.]
Confirmed against primary source.
xAI's Colossus cluster in Memphis, Tennessee is reportedly expanding from 100K to over 200K GPU capacity using NVIDIA H100 and H200 systems. The facility is used for training Grok AI models. Power supply expansion is reportedly a key constraint. [DEMO est.]
