Fusion42 · 9 September 2026 · Fusion42 review

MediaTek is ramping production of its latest smartphone processor on TSMC’s 2nm node but chooses to use an older PoP chip packaging technology instead of TSMC’s advanced wafer-level multi-chip module packaging due to memory-related risks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must reassess chip packaging risks given MediaTek's choice to avoid TSMC’s latest packaging on 2nm chips. This opens a window to supply products that balance advanced node performance with proven packaging for tighter memory control.
