Intel is ready to produce 2nm chips by 2024.

According to Wccftech , in a recent interview, Intel's Vice President of Technology Development, Sanjay Natarajan, stated that the company is preparing to produce 2nm chips next year, known as Intel 20A. In his statement, Natarajan said: "We will begin mass production of 2nm chips in 2024, and the company will once again lead in miniaturization technology."

Intel's chip manufacturing roadmap

That's clearly a bold statement, but it also means the company is sticking to its roadmap. More importantly, this will allow Intel to stay years ahead of TSMC in the race to 2nm chips, as TSMC will only be able to make the leap with next-generation 3nm chips next year. Furthermore, TSMC is expected to begin producing 2nm chips as early as 2025, although rumors suggest this could be pushed back to 2026.

Samsung has also joined the race and announced it expects to begin producing 2nm chips in 2025, meaning Intel could also beat Samsung. The South Korean company said it is targeting TSMC in the 2nm chip race, suggesting it doesn't consider Intel's goal a major threat.

If Intel achieves its goal of starting 20A production next year, this would allow the company to offer its first PC chips based on the 2nm process in the second half of 2024. That's when Arrow Lake chips are expected to launch. Unlike Meteor Lake, which was built on Intel's 4 (previously 7nm) architecture, Arrow Lake will be built with gate-all-around RibbonFET (GAA) transistor technology instead of FinFET.

Theoretically, the roadmap suggests Intel could begin producing the 20A chip within the next six months. If that happens, the company would be at least a year ahead of TSMC in achieving its first 2nm chip – a significant milestone for CEO Gelsinger.
