On June 10, Wendell Huang, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of TSMC, recently mentioned that inflation is pushing up the company’s operational costs. As a result, price hikes for chips are a possibility, but there won’t be an abrupt surge of four to five times the current prices. Earlier, sources within the supply chain revealed that TSMC intends to raise its prices for the 3-nanometer process in the latter half of the year, with increases of up to 15%, and there might be an additional 5% to 10% increase the following year.
