It is reported that the Intel Nova Lake processor will adopt TSMC's 2nm process, which will improve performance by 50% compared to the Lunar Lake

Although Apple is a major customer of TSMC's 2nm technology, and the A19 Pro chip of the iPhone 17 Pro will adopt this technology for the first time in 2025, TSMC reportedly has reserved some production capacity for Intel to meet the demand of its mobile product line in 2026.There are reports that at the beginning of the launch of the Lunar Lake processor, Intel outsourced some of its core production to TSMC.Both parties plan to establish a closer cooperative relationship, and in the future, Nova Lake processors will also use 2nm process CPU chips manufactured by TSMC.This once again demonstrates Intel's reliance on external manufacturing in the field of mobile architecture and outsourcing key components to TSMC production to meet the growing demand of the mobile computing market, further consolidating its position in the fiercely competitive mobile field.
