TSMC is accelerating 2nm capacity across five Taiwan fabs with 45% higher first-year output than 3nm achieved, targeting 70% CAGR through 2028; Samsung has signed an MOU with Broadcom to supply HBM4 memory and 2nm foundry services, positioning itself as an alternative as TSMC plans 10% price increases in 2027.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you design AI chips, TSMC just made its foundry more expensive while Samsung undercut on price and threw in memory integration—your manufacturing choice now has real alternatives. The bottleneck that kept you locked into one supplier just cracked open.
