I’m not surprised. They do make a lot of chips including 5nm, 7nm, ARM, SoC and many more. They’re also rumored to produce the CPUs for all the up-coming Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Taken from TPU … Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, called TSMC shorty, has just become the world’s biggest semiconductor company. The news broke after TSMC’s stock reached a peak heights of $66.40 price per share, and market capitalization of 313 billion US dollars. That means that the Taiwanese company officially passed Intel, NVIDIA, and Samsung in terms of market capitalization, which is no small feat. And the news isn’t that surprising. TSMC has been rather busy with orders from customers, just waiting for new spots so they can grab a piece of its production pipeline.
TrendForce, a market intelligence provider, estimates that TSMC has an amazing 51.9% of global semiconductor foundry share alone. That is no small feat but TSMC worked hard over the years to make it happen. With constant investments into R&D, TSMC has managed to make itself not only competitive with other foundries, but rather an industry leader. With 5 nm already going in high-volume manufacturing (HVM) in Q4 of this year, the company is demonstrating that it is the market leader with the latest node developments. Smaller nodes like 3 nm are already in development and TSMC doesn’t plan to stop.
