TSMC makes approximately $25.5B per quarter and growing. This is more than Intel ever made in a single quarter. Imagine if Intel had gone after the foundry only route and stopped making their own chips.

As I've said many times before:

The
Smartest
Manufacturing
Company.....

'nuff said :D

How bout this

Terribly
Soon
Monopolist
Company

This kind of growth is not sustainable. I hope TSMC execs are being wise and planning for a plateau or fall off.

Well, as the saying goes:

"A failure to plan = a plan to fail"

1. This is actually a 12.2% decrease. Going from 314,240 in October to only 276,068 in November 2024.



2. Since the Moore's law is dead, sooner or later these numbers will go rapid downward spiraling, since there would be no more demand - everything will forever be manufactured on a one last process.

Not necessarily true. There are reasons to keep manufacturing certain chips on much bigger nodes since the qualities of those chips have an ideal fit in some very unique applications. Sometimes the mission isn't optimal performance. Sometimes it's just "survive these extreme conditions that are devoid of human life."

TSMC has a handle on the performance part of manufacturing and they're the silicon seat of the world. Maybe our computer components will reach that point for all general compute but the moment someone says something like "hey, lets try that in space" it's a whole other ball game.

Math, much like reading comprehension, is important.. First, the article and everyone else is talking about YoY numbers.

Thus.

Second, your continuous trolling is really getting irritating. Amusing and laughable? Sure. But irritating..
