Industry insiders: the quotation for TSMC's 2nm process is close to US $25000, driving the price of new products higher.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Brother Black fly's left hand clue delivery! CTOnews.com June 27 news, according to Taiwan media "Electronic Times" quoted IC (integrated circuit, that is, chip industry / semiconductor industry) practitioners reported that the current TSMC 2nm process business has launched cooperation negotiations with manufacturers, although the semiconductor industry is currently in a headwind, TSMC is still in a strong state.

According to industry insiders, while the quotation for the 3nm process is maintained at around US $20, 000, the quotation for 2nm that will be produced in 2025 is close to US $25000 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about RMB 181000). And because Samsung, Intel and other large companies are difficult to "corner overtake" within a few years, TSMC has a leading advantage, almost "sweeping chip manufacturers' orders", and will usher in a new wave of growth from 2024.

CTOnews.com noticed that after wafers entered the era of advanced manufacturing processes below 7nm, TSMC contract quotations went up all the way. At present, the quotation of TSMC 7nm and 6nm wafers has doubled to more than US $10, 000, while that of 5nm and 4nm wafers is about US $16000.

For 2nm wafers with prices approaching 25000 yuan, there are fewer and fewer customers with available products and financial resources, but these customers have established a long-term cooperative relationship with TSMC. Industry insiders said that as TSMC's OEM quotations have remained high, coupled with inflation and other factors, prices for new products this year, such as Nvidia's GPU for games, AI's GPU, Apple's new generation of iPhone, and so on, the "high price positioning of these products can not go back."
