MediaTek plans to start final designs for new 2nm computer chips late next year. The company wants to lead global chip making despite its products staying with older 3nm technology this year. MediaTek scheduled these advanced chips for actual release in late 2026. This extra time allows engineers to make changes before selling to customers. The company expects these chips to work 15 percent faster with 25 percent less electricity used.
The design process begins in September next year at a cost of millions of dollars. Once the designs prove successful, TSMC will make these tiny chips. MediaTek must send designs back for changes if tests show poor results. The company announced this timeline after TSMC started taking orders for this manufacturing process in April. Rival company Qualcomm plans its next chip presentation for September 23 this year.
