News Summary

• TSMC's next-generation A16 or 1.6nm process tech will be the start of its "Angstrom Era" journey, delivering improved performance/power profiles versus 2nm.
• A16 will leverage an optimized Nanosheet Transistor technology, first being used by its N2 (2nm) tech, which is being deployed later this year in chips such as AMD's EPYC Venice.
• TSMC A16 is planned for mass production in Q4 2026, but that doesn't mean that we will see chips using the process by that time.
• Actual products based on A16 are planned around a 2027-2028 timeframe.
