The world’s largest contract chipmaker reported a 39 per cent rise in October-December revenue to US$26.3 billion.

TSMC is making headlines again with its AI exploits. The world’s largest chipmaker raked in 868.5 billion New Taiwan dollars ($26.3 billion) in revenue for

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s quarterly sales topped estimates, reinforcing investor hopes that the torrid pace of AI hardware spending will extend into 2025.

TSMC’s market value nearly doubled last year, and it now trades in the US at a valuation close to US$1.1 trillion. However, some investors worry about when the AI boom would peter out. While TSMC’s revenue beat, it was just 1.6 percent higher than the average projection and fell short of the most bullish analyst expectations.

Chip stocks surged in intraday trading Monday after Taiwan's Foxconn posted record fourth-quarter revenue, driven by the boom in artificial intelligence (AI) demand.

It is crucial that TSMC serves as the leader in charge of the AI revolution. The company makes some of the world's most advanced microchips, which power products from Silicon Valley giants like Apple's (AAPL,

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. posted fourth-quarter revenue that beat Wall Street estimates as the company keeps gaining from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom.

South Korean outlets report that NVIDIA and Qualcomm are considering switching to Samsung Foundry for 2nm chip production, as TSMC prices are too high.

Boldly going Nvidia and TSMC have developed a silicon photonics-based chip prototype, according to a recent report from the Taiwanese press. Silicon photonics merges photonic circuits with traditional electronic circuits to surpass physical limitations in semiconductor fabrication.

Taiwanese chip making giant TSMC said Friday its net sales rose by more than a third last year, beating its own forecast, as the company continued to benefit from soaring demand for AI technology.

The strong AI momentum has more than doubled TSMC's sales since 2020, solidifying its position as a critical supplier in the semiconductor ecosystem. TSMC's stock has mirrored its operational success, soaring 81% over the past year and far outpacing the broader market's 28.5% gain.

The Dutch government said on Thursday it is in discussions with U.S. chip firms Nvidia and AMD about suppling hardware and technological knowledge for a possible artificial intelligence (AI) facility.
