TSMC to Hike Advanced Chip Prices 5-10%, Hitting Nvidia, Apple, AMD

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Tom's Hardware ·

TSMC has informed customers of planned 5-10% price increases across all advanced nodes, including 3nm, 7nm, and some legacy processes. These nodes account for 74% of TSMC's wafer business, impacting major clients like Nvidia, AMD, Apple, and Qualcomm. The hikes will raise costs for chips used in AI, smartphones, and PCs, potentially passing to consumers.
