Bloomberg says Rapidus is falling behind on SRAM milestone for 2nm ramp

According to Bloomberg, Japanese chipmaker Rapidus has missed an SRAM milestone, putting its plan to mass-produce 2nm chips in fiscal 2027 under pressure. SRAM is a key building block in advanced chips and can improve AI chip performance through larger caches. Bloomberg said Rapidus has not yet produced usable SRAM, several months later than its prior roadmap. Rapidus said it will keep pushing to start mass production in the second half of fiscal 2027.
