TSMC has reportedly informed customers of planned price increases across its entire advanced chip manufacturing portfolio, including 3nm, 7nm, and legacy processes. The hikes, expected to range from 5-10%, could raise costs for major clients like Apple, NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcom, and MediaTek. TSMC declined to comment on pricing specifics.
TSMC has reportedly told customers it will raise prices across its entire advanced node lineup, from 3nm down to legacy processes. The increases are expected to land between 5% and 10%, varying by customer and product category. Some clients have already been hit; others have been told to factor the new costs into future orders. The move affects 74% of TSMC's wafer revenue, which includes chips for Apple, NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcom, and MediaTek. The inclusion of the mature 7nm node is notable, as it remains widely used in processors and networking silicon. TSMC CEO C.C. Wei told shareholders in June that while he ruled out sharp hikes, ongoing inflation and rising manufacturing costs left room for price increases.
