The president of TSMC does not frown upon charging more to his North American partners
A few days ago we learned that NVIDIA had managed to make history by becoming the second most valuable company in the world. Thanks to the rise of artificial intelligencethe North American company managed to surpass Apple in value and was placed just behind Microsoft, but this situation changed a few hours ago and NVIDIA has once again occupied the Third place. However, these ups and downs have caught the attention of one of its most prolific partners: TSMC.
Currently, TSMC is the leader in the semiconductor sector thanks to the incredible advances it has achieved. In addition to leading the market with its 3nm chipsthe Taiwanese company is already working on those of 2nm, which is why firms like Apple or NVIDIA want to ensure access to these products. And, according to the portal TechSpot in a recent publicationthe interest of the latter could cause a huge benefit for the Taiwanese firm.
TSMC considers raising prices
CC Weicurrent president of TSMC, said in a recent interview that he had the opportunity to speak with the CEO of NVIDIA and conveyed his thoughts about its products: “they are really valuable, but I am thinking about give value to ours”. Right now, TSMC is the sole supplier of advanced AI chips from NVIDIA, which is why the North American company depends on the creations of the Taiwanese. And, based on this situation, the firm would be clear about its next position: raise your prices.
For months now, TSMC has been paying more for its facilities as a result of the electric rise which the Taiwan government authorized in April. In addition, the company has also revealed on occasion that it has suffered the financial consequences of the current termination. Therefore, although Wei stated that his firm’s prices They are strategy oriented and not opportunity oriented, I would not frown upon uploading them to NVIDIA with the intention of taking a cut. Be that as it may, it seems that it will not be the last chapter in this particular economic dispute that both entities are experiencing.
