According to *Reuters*, TSMC (TSM) will manufacture the chip using its advanced 3-nanometer process. The deal gives TSMC another high-end chip customer as tech firms seek greater control over their own chip designs. ### Summer Sale - Claim 70% Off TipRanks 200% short exposure to NVDA with NVDS For context, TSMC is the world's largest contract chipmaker. The company supplies advanced semiconductors to top tech giants, including Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). ## **More Details About Xring O3** The Xring O3 is expected to power Xiaomi's upcoming flagship foldable phone, with projected shipments of 200,000 to 300,000 units. Xiaomi also unveiled two more chips planned for commercial use in 2027, including a 3nm chip for autonomous driving. Its first in-house chip, the Xring O1, has already shipped in more than 1 million devices, showing that Xiaomi is steadily expanding its chip business. The move is part of Xiaomi's effort to rely less on outside chip suppliers such as Qualcomm (QCOM) and MediaTek. ## **Why TSMC Investors Should Care** For TSM stock investors, the Xiaomi deal matters beyond one customer. More tech firms are building their own chips to gain more control over cost and supply. Custom chips can be designed for a company's specific needs and may reduce reliance on outside suppliers. These firms continue to rely on TSMC to manufacture these chips, creating a potential long-term demand tailwind for its advanced chip-making business. The near-term revenue boost from the latest Xiaomi deal may be modest. The bigger opportunity is a longer partnership and more chip orders if Xiaomi scales its in-house chip plans. For investors, Xiaomi is a positive sign, but it is not a major catalyst on its own. The key test is whether TSMC can keep winning advanced-chip orders while adding capacity and protecting its margins. ## **Is TSMC Stock a Good Buy?** Overall, TSM stock remains tied to the wider AI chip boom. The company's advanced manufacturing business serves major chip designers. Therefore, rising demand for custom and AI processors can support its growth. TSM stock has gained over 75% in the last year. According to TipRanks, TSM stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on six Buys and one Hold assigned in the last three months. At $545.67, the TSMC average stock price target implies a 30% upside potential. ### Related Stocks - [XIACY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XIACY.US.md) - [TSM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSM.US.md) - [TSMZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMZ.US.md) - [TSMU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMU.US.md) - [TSMG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMG.US.md) - [TSMX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMX.US.md) - [STSM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STSM.US.md) - [TMYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TMYY.US.md) - [TSMY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMY.US.md) - [SMH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMH.US.md) - [SOXX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXX.US.md) - [SOXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) - [SOXQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXQ.US.md) - [XSD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSD.US.md) - [PSI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PSI.US.md) - [FTXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FTXL.US.md) - [01810.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01810.HK.md) - [AAPL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPL.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [AMD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMD.US.md) - [QCOM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QCOM.US.md) - [NVDS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDS.US.md) - [81810.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/81810.HK.md) - [HXXD.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HXXD.SG.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) ## Related News & Research - [TSMC Q2 employee bonuses rise more than 50%](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297431455.md) - [Nvidia Just Invested $3.5B in a Major Qualcomm Rival's AI Chips.
