Current 4 nm GPUs cost megabucks, so the idea of IBM's new sub-1 nm technology is very scary
… So, the big question is how much would IBM's technology cost if adopted by the likes of Intel or TSMC? …

… According to one source , the average annual employee bonus at TSMC is $90,000, which is not insignificant. On the other hand, TSMC raked in record profits of $54 billion in 2025, in part thanks to the ongoing AI boom. TSMC is variously reported as having around 80,000 to 90,000 employees. …
… The company also announced that itself and TSMC have "hit another major production milestone" with Venice Epyc CPUs ramping on TSMC 2nm technology in Taiwan. The red team said that it has future plans to ramp up production at TSMC's Arizona fab, too. …
… "We reflect our value," Huang said, before going on to explain that TSMC's "value" includes geographic diversification, or having fabs at multiple locations across the world, technology leadership, in other words, offering the best chip production nodes, and manufacturing access, which means the ab… …
… "AMD today announced that its next-generation AMD EPYC processor, codenamed Venice, is ramping production in Taiwan on TSMC’s advanced 2 nm process technology, with future plans to ramp production at TSMC’s Arizona fabrication facility," AMD said in a statement . …
… AMD has said that Zen 6, which Medusa Point will use for its CPU cores, is already in production on TSMC's new N2 node . …
… Instead, Culpan says the supply chain and most notably TSMC may be at least part of the explanation. As he points out, Intel's Panther Lake CPUs have CPU tiles built on the in-house 18A node. But the I/O tile is made by TSMC. …
… We only got 30, and 10 of them were built with 18A technology. …
… This chip is supposed to be going super heavy on the GPU for AI workloads and will reportedly have Nvidia's next-gen Rubin GPU technology and will support LPDDR6 memory. …
… One example of this move towards diversification and localisation in recent years is TSMC's Arizona fabs. With the encouragement of the US government , TSMC has been building semiconductor manufacturing fabs in Arizona . …
