At the 2025 Computex Taipei,Portugal MediaTek CEO Rick Tsai on Tuesday announced the company’s first 2nm chip, which is expected to tape out this September. Tape-out is the process of converting a finalized integrated circuit (IC) design into a physical chip layout, similar to a production line, involving a series of manufacturing steps. While no official details were disclosed, the Commercial Times speculated that the chip will likely be manufactured by TSMC and could either be MediaTek’s next-generation flagship smartphone SoC or a custom ASIC chip designed for NVIDIA’s NVLink Fusion system.
