According to the *Taiwan Economic Daily News*, explosive demand for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) has strained these cutting-edge nodes, prompting Nvidia (NVDA) to potentially redesign its next-generation Feynman AI platform. ### Claim 30% Off TipRanks Premium - Trade NVDA with leverage - New trading tool for NVDA bulls/bears - Forget margin or options. Here's how the pros trade NVDA TSMC is the world's largest contract chipmaker powering everything from smartphones to AI supercomputers. It is facing unprecedented strain on its 2nm manufacturing nodes, including the advanced A16 variant, with backside power delivery for 8-10% speed gains over prior nodes. Nvidia's Feynman platform is a next-generation data center architecture and successor to its Vera Rubin architectures. Nvidia unveiled Feynman at its recent GTC 2026 event and is scheduled for release in 2028. ## **Nvidia Faces Shortages Due to TSMC** Customer queues extend beyond 2028, with rivals like Meta Platforms (META) also vying for A16 slots, leaving even top client Nvidia (20% advanced capacity) struggling with shortages. This bottleneck highlights the global chip race: 2nm tech promises 15-25% efficiency leaps for power-hungry AI models. Yet TSMC's near-monopoly on leading-edge nodes creates constrictions. Compounding these delays, TSMC has signaled annual price hikes through 2029 to offset rising costs and balance supply. As AI demand surges, projected to consume 10% of global power by 2027 per International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates, such constraints could slow industry innovation. Capacity ramps or catch-ups from rivals like Intel (INTC) and Samsung Electronics (SSNLF) may be needed. ## **Nvidia, Meta Lead Orders amid AI Demand** Nvidia has secured bulk A16 allocations for its Rubin (2026), Rubin Ultra/Next, and Feynman (2028) GPUs (graphics processing units). It has also booked most CoWoS packaging through 2026 and reportedly claims up to 80% of initial 2nm capacity. CEO Jensen Huang is urging TSMC for maximum production. Meanwhile, Meta aggressively competes for these slots with custom MTIA v3 "Iris" AI chips and GPUs for data centers. However, it trails Apple (AAPL), which holds over 50% of early 2nm orders. These high-volume orders have intensified the capacity war amid shortages projected through 2027. ## **Is NVDA Stock a Buy?** Analysts remain optimistic about Nvidia's long-term outlook. On TipRanks, NVDA stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 41 Buys and one Hold rating. The average Nvidia price target of $274.03 implies 58.7% upside potential from current levels. Over the past year, NVDA shares have surged 42.3%. ### Related Stocks - [TSM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSM.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [SOXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) - [NVDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [TSMG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMG.US.md) - [TSMU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMU.US.md) - [NVDU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDU.US.md) - [NVDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [TSMX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMX.US.md) - [NVDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [XSD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSD.US.md) - [SOXX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXX.US.md) - [SMH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMH.US.md) - [07788.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07788.HK.md) - [07388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07388.HK.md) - [NVDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDD.US.md) - [NVDQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDQ.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Nvidia Stock (NVDA) Ditched By Retail Investors Ahead of Q2 Earnings](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296609730.md) - [Franklin Street Advisors Inc.
