TSMC’s 2-nanometer N2 wafers are expected to cost 10 to 20 percent more than current 3-nanometer products, according to new reports. The company plans to maintain the 2-nanometer wafer price at $30,000 per unit. This price increase is partly due to TSMC’s decision to raise the cost of its 3-nanometer N3E and N3P nodes, which are estimated at $25,000 and $27,000 per wafer.
Major clients, such as Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek, will need to pay higher prices as they transition to the advanced manufacturing process. The higher costs are expected to impact the price of consumer electronics, as companies adjust to increased expenses. TSMC will begin mass production of 2-nanometer wafers in late 2025.
