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 […]
