TSMC, the world's largest contract chip manufacturer, has informed clients like Apple and Nvidia of price increases of 5-10% or more, effective from 2027. The increases, affecting both advanced and mature fabrication nodes, are attributed to rising input costs and will include additional premiums for high-performance computing chip orders that exceed forecasts.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your hardware bill of materials will increase by at least 10% from 2027, driven by the market's biggest supplier. Use the two-year lead time to either renegotiate your customer pricing or engineer your product away from the most expensive chips.
