U.S. Stock Movement | Taiwan Semiconductor rises over 3% amid reports of at least a 50% increase in its 2nm process pricing

On Tuesday, Taiwan Semiconductor opened up over 3%, continuing to set a new historical high at $281.70. In terms of news, according to media reports, the price of TSMC's 2nm process has increased by at least 50% compared to the 3nm process, while the price of the last generation 3nm CPU has risen by about 20% compared to the previous generation. Industry sources indicate that TSMC's latest 2nm process will begin mass production this quarter, but due to the enormous capital expenditure for advanced processes, TSMC currently has no discount or bargaining strategy. Supply chain estimates suggest that the unit price of flagship chips using the 2nm process could reach $280. In addition, memory chip giants such as Samsung and SK Hynix have already taken the lead in raising product prices, accelerating the price increase in the semiconductor industry
