TSMC CEO Emphasizes Growing Demand for AI Chips and the Need for Innovation
In a recent statement, Chong Ching Wei, the CEO of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), highlighted the increasing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips and the need for innovation to meet this demand.
Wei emphasized the importance of providing the industry with enough capacity to meet the growing AI chip demand, as well as the need to work together on controlling costs. He also stressed the importance of developing technology that not only delivers performance but also efficiently controls energy.
The CEO also expressed concerns about the energy requirements of AI systems, stating that they could easily triple within two years. However, Wei also recognized the potential benefits of AI, including its ability to help doctors, improve vehicle safety, and reduce resource consumption for companies.
TSMC currently dominates the advanced chip market and serves as the main supplier of AI chips for companies like Nvidia, Apple, Qualcomm, and AMD. Despite upcoming challenges in the production of AI chips, Wei remains optimistic about the company’s ability to achieve its goals.
In its third-quarter results, TSMC surpassed analysts’ forecasts, with revenues falling by 11% compared to the same quarter last year. The company also reported a net profit that exceeded expectations. The report also indicated an increase in activity with American customers, with North American customers responsible for about 69% of TSMC’s revenues.
Furthermore, TSMC’s positive performance in the third quarter aligns with a positive streak in the chip industry, indicating that supply chain problems and inventory shortages may be improving.
TSMC’s stock has increased by 35% since the beginning of the year and by 27% in the last year as a whole, further illustrating the company’s positive momentum.
Overall, TSMC’s CEO is optimistic about the future of AI chip production and the company’s ability to innovate and meet the growing demand. As TSMC continues to expand and invest in new production centers, the company remains well-positioned to address the challenges and opportunities in the semiconductor industry.
