On Tuesday, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM.US) opened with gains exceeding 3%, continuing to reach new historical highs at $281.70.
According to market reports, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's 2nm process pricing has increased by at least 50% compared to its 3nm technology, while the final generation 3nm CPU prices have already risen approximately 20% over the previous generation. Industry sources indicate that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's latest 2nm process will commence mass production this quarter. However, due to substantial capital expenditures required for advanced manufacturing processes, the company currently has no discount or pricing negotiation strategies in place.
Supply chain estimates suggest that flagship chips utilizing the 2nm process could potentially reach unit prices of $280. Additionally, memory chip giants Samsung and SK Hynix have already implemented price increases for their products, further accelerating the semiconductor pricing uptrend across the industry.
