TSMC is reportedly increasing prices for advanced and legacy chips by 5% to 10%, impacting major clients like Apple, Nvidia, and AMD.
TSMC has reportedly notified customers of price hikes ranging from 5% to 10% across its 3nm, 5nm, 7nm, and legacy product lines. According to a June 23rd Culpium report, these increases will affect major tech firms including Apple, Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcom, and MediaTek.
