TSMC looks for new sources of growth with the intention of reducing its dependence on Apple
It is reported that the chip foundry TSMC has been at the forefront of the industry in terms of process technology in recent years. Thanks to advanced technology and high yield, they have also exclusively manufactured Apple’s A-series processors for 5 consecutive years. Apple’s Mac processor M1 based on the Arm architecture is also made by TSMC.
However, although the large number of orders from Apple has promoted the growth of TSMC, it is too dependent on Apple’s orders and there are potential risks. Once Apple’s orders change, TSMC’s performance will be affected.
According to sources in the industry chain, TSMC currently tends to reduce its dependence on Apple’s orders. They are seeking sources of growth other than Apple’s orders. They have been accelerating their deployment in 5G, automotive electronics and high-performance computing.
