TSMC Raises 3-Nanometer Chip Prices as Nvidia Expands Taiwan Investment

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced a major expansion of the company investment in Taiwan at the Taipei Computex conference. TSMC plans to increase 3-nanometer process pricing by up to 15 percent in the second half of 2026.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced a major expansion of the company investment in Taiwan at the Taipei Computex conference. The company plans to significantly increase its investment scale in Taiwan to support TSMCs chip manufacturing operations. TSMC is implementing Nvidias artificial intelligence and accelerated computing technologies, including the cuLitho software for computational lithography. This technology can improve cost effectiveness or cycle time by 20 to 50 percent. Meanwhile, TSMC plans to increase 3-nanometer process pricing by up to 15 percent in the second half of 2026. This reflects expected robust demand in the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
