Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek And Others Are Rumored To Introduce A Significant Price Hike On Its Chipsets Due To TSMC’s Increased 2nm Wafer Costs, Resulting In More Expensive Devices

OSTN Staff

Apple, Qualcomm and MediaTek could be forced to increase its chipset prices next year because they will shift to TSMC's 2nm process

TSMC reportedly started accepting 2nm wafer orders earlier this month, with industry estimates putting each wafer at a cost of a whopping $30,000. It is unconfirmed if the foundry giant can lower the price once it reaches a certain scale, but this will put companies like Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and others in a tough position. On one hand, no firm wants to be left behind by having access to cutting-edge technology, but at the same time, the price increase of chipsets that will leverage the 2nm process could result in phone makers having to absorb the cost. In short, future […]
