TSMC's N2 Node Price Hike May Increase CPU, GPU Costs

TSMC's N2 Node Price Hike May Increase CPU, GPU Costs

TSMC, a major company that makes computer chips, might raise its prices.

This could make the chips inside your computer and phone more expensive.

TSMC's new chip-making process, called N2, is predicted to cost much more.

Because building these chips is already very expensive, with the tools and research that is involved.

If the price of chips goes up, companies like Apple, Nvidia, and AMD might have to charge more for their products, such as CPUs and GPUs.

This means that your new computer or graphics card might cost more money.

The first products using the new chip process might come from AMD.
