TSMC's 2nm wafer prices hit $30,000 as SRAM yields reportedly hit 90%

In context: TSMC has steadily raised the prices of its most advanced semiconductor process nodes over the past several years – so much so that one analysis suggests the cost per transistor hasn't decreased in over a decade. Further price hikes, driven by tariffs and rising development costs, are reinforcing the notion that Moore's Law is truly dead.

Taiwan moves to tighten control over TSMC's advanced chip exports and overseas investments

TSMC unveils plans for giant AI chips to meet surging compute demands

The big picture: The semiconductor industry is approaching a significant milestone as TSMC prepares to expand the physical scale of its chip packaging technology. At its recent North American Technology Symposium, the company detailed plans for a new generation of CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) technology, enabling the assembly of multi-chiplet processors much larger than those currently in production.

TSMC spends just 10% more on silicon wafers manufactured in the USA than in Taiwan fabs

A hot potato: TSMC has repeatedly said that funding a new chip-making venture outside Taiwan is very expensive for numerous reasons. However, a new analysis tries to debunk the company's alleged financial issues with building new plants in other parts of the world.

Intel's $13B foundry loss raises stakes for potential TSMC partnership

In context: Once the undisputed leader in semiconductor manufacturing, Intel now finds itself at a critical juncture as its foundry operations face significant financial challenges. It remains uncertain whether a deal with TSMC can rescue Intel's foundry business, but without it the company – better known in its heyday as "Chipzilla" – must find a way to address its manufacturing challenges and financial losses.
