India, April 24 -- With 2nm scheduled to enter mass production in 2H25, TSMC, at its North America Technology Symposium today, introduced more details on its next-gen advanced node, A14, which is expected to start production in 2028. Notably, Tom's Hardware suggests that the initial version will lack backside power delivery (BSPDN), with an upgraded version incorporating BSPDN planned for 2029.

TSMC notes that the current A14 development is progressing smoothly with yield performance ahead of schedule. As highlighted by Tom's Hardware, A14 will harness 2nd Gen gate-all-around (GAA) nanosheet transistors, enhanced by its NanoFlex Pro technology, which enables greater performance, power efficiency and design flexibility.
