- TSMC announced the progress of opening a new factory in the United States earlier this month.
- ’s 3nm chips, which will be mass-produced in the second half of 2022, may become a life-saving straw for many companies.
It is reported that earlier this month, TSMC announced the latest progress in opening its chip factory in the United States. TSMC said that the factory has started construction. This new US$12 billion chip factory is located in Arizona, USA. Phoenix, State.
With the official settlement of TSMC, this also means that TSMC will make a lot of money in the future!
TSMC's Q1 total output value broke a record high in a single quarter, reaching US$22.75 billion. It single-handedly captured 55% of the global market share, forming a dominant player in the market, followed by Samsung .

In the long run, locating the new factory in the United States will deepen its relationship with the US authorities, and the required resources can be obtained in time; secondly, Qualcomm , Apple , Intel , etc. are all owned by TSMC A big customer, TSMC can expand more business in the United States in the future!
However, considering that Samsung has also settled its new factory in the United States, both TSMC and Samsung may benefit in the future. At the same time, considering the king status of both parties in the field of chip processing, it is not ruled out that the United States will be used as a fulcrum in the future to start a new round. global expansion.
Samsung
Although Samsung still has not mastered the 3nm chip process technology, Samsung’s US$17 billion investment may not be in vain. When the new factory is completed, Samsung is bound to make efforts in 3nm. By then, it will not overtake TSMC in a corner. You know!
When TSMC executives talked about when to start factory production, they said that the next generation of 3nm process technology chips is planned to start mass production in the second half of 2022. TSMC’s investment this year will reach 30 billion U.S. dollars, and the total investment amount in the next three years will be Reaching $100 billion!

As Intel, TSMC, Samsung, etc. actively expand chip production capacity, future chip supply may be alleviated to a certain extent, but it is believed that it will take time to completely solve the problem of chip supply shortage!
, especially the new generation of 3nm process technology, has also become a life-saving straw for major manufacturers. Whoever can be the first to use 3nm chips will undoubtedly greatly enhance their competitiveness.
At present, Qualcomm, Apple, and Samsung are expected to be the first to use the latest chip manufacturing technology!
