[news that TSMC's 3nm production level has not yet met Apple's new product requirements] Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily reported on the 27th that Apple had previously contracted the full production capacity of TSMC's 3nm in the early stage of mass production, but Arete Research senior analyst Brett Simpson pointed out that TSMC's 3nm process tools and production are limited to meet all the needs of Apple's upcoming new products, and it is expected that it will be improved by switching to a stronger EUV exposure machine next year. It expects the N3 wafer pricing charged by TSMC to return to normal in the first half of 2024, with an average price of about $16000 to $17,000.
