Tsmc

TSMC will increase wafer prices in 2022. As a result, the cost of smartphones and other electronic devices will likely go up.

Semiconductors are in hot demand, and foundries are profiting from said demand in a big way. Foundry revenue was higher than it's ever been as of Q2 2021.

TSMC is the world’s largest producer of semiconductors, and it will reportedly increase its chip production price before the end of the year.

Chipmaker TSMC is considering opening a chip factory in Germany, which would be its first in Europe. Right now, however, discussions are only in preliminary stages.

While Intel struggles to move to the 7nm process for making CPUs, it will work with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to make chips with 3nm technology.

The semiconductor shortage is a long way from being over. With that said, $52 billion ought to help speed recovery efforts along.

It seems TSMC and Sony have a mutual friend in need of a favor. The Japanese government is reportedly asking them to team up to produce a 20nm chip plant.

As one might expect with a global shortage in chips, some chipmakers are upping prices. Supply is strained, demand is high, and that means additional money is being demanded.
