Inkampani yaseTaiwan Semiconductor TSMC), umenzi ophambili wehlabathi weetshipets zekhontrakthi, kutshanje kuye kwavakala ukuba anyuse amaxabiso ngepesenti ye-15 ngenxa yokunqongophala kwe-chip okuqhubekayo.
Nangona kunjalo, ikota yokuqala yonyaka isondela esiphelweni kwaye inkampani kusafuneka inyuse amaxabiso. Kodwa kwingxelo entsha Iindaba ze-United News zibanga ukuba i-TSMC inokunyusa amaxabiso ezitya zayo ezili-12 intshi nge $ 400.
Oku kunokukhokelela ekunyukeni kwexabiso le-25 ekhulwini, eliya kuba liphezulu kakhulu. Kuyaphawuleka ukuba inkampani iye yaya kwiinkqubo ze-5nm ze-chipsets, izenza zibe namandla ngakumbi kwaye zisebenzise amandla.
Inkampani yaseTaiwan kulindeleke ukuba iqalise ukuthumela iitshiphusi ze-3nm kwisiqingatha sesibini sonyaka olandelayo. I-node yenkqubo yesizukulwana esilandelayo iqikelelwe ukuba ibonelele nge-25-30% amandla amaninzi kunye ne-10-15% yokusebenza ngaphezulu kumanqanaba ombane afanayo.
Ngenxa yemfuno ephezulu yee-microcircuits kunye nonikezelo oluphantsi, i-TSMC yenqabile ukubonelela ngezaphulelo kubathengi bayo. Kodwa inkampani ijongene nezinye iimeko ezingaphaya kolawulo lwayo, ezonyusa iindleko zayo.
Ukungabikho kwemvula kukhokelele kunqongophala kwamanzi, kwaye isixeko apho i-TSMC isekwe khona yafumana kuphela isiqingatha semvula kwi-2020 xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka ophelileyo. Oku kunyanzele inkampani ukuba ibeke iitanki zamanzi kwiindawo zayo.
Ukuba i-TSMC ithatha isigqibo sokunyusa amaxabiso e-wafer ngeepesenti ezingama-25 kwaye irhoxise izivumelwano ebekuvunyelwene ngazo ngaphambili neenkampani, abenzi bee-smartphone banokuphela bechitha imali eninzi kunohlahlo-lwabiwo mali, kwaye ezo ndleko zinokugqithiselwa kubathengi.
