Inkampani Yezokukhiqiza yaseTaiwan Semiconductor ( TSMC), okungumkhiqizi ohamba phambili emhlabeni wama-chipset ezinkontileka, muva nje kunamahemuhemu okuthi unyuse amanani awo ngamaphesenti ayi-15 ngenxa yokushoda kwe-chip okuqhubekayo.
Kodwa-ke, ikota yokuqala yonyaka isiya ngasemaphethelweni futhi inkampani isazokhuphula amanani. Kepha embikweni omusha I-United News ithi i-TSMC ingakhuphula intengo yezingqimba zayo ezingamasentimitha ayi-12 ngo- $ 400.
Lokhu kungaholela ekwenyukeni kwentengo ngamaphesenti angama-25, okungaba phezulu kakhulu. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi inkampani ithuthele ku-5nm process node yama-chipsets, okuwenza abe namandla futhi asebenzise amandla.
Inkampani yaseTaiwan kulindeleke ukuthi iqale ukuthumela ama-chips angu-3nm engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka ozayo. I-node yenqubo yesizukulwane esilandelayo ibikezelwa ukuthi izonikeza amandla angu-25-30% ngaphezulu kanye nokusebenza okwengeziwe ngo-10-15% kumazinga afanayo wamandla.
Ngenxa yesidingo esikhulu sama-microcircuits nokutholakala okuphansi, i-TSMC yenqabile ukunikeza izaphulelo kumakhasimende ayo. Kepha inkampani ibhekene nezinye izimo ezingaphezu kwamandla ayo, ezandisa izindleko zayo.
Ukuntuleka kwemvula kuholele ekusweleni okukhulu kwamanzi, futhi idolobha lapho i-TSMC izinze khona lathola uhhafu kuphela wemvula ngonyaka we-2020 uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka owedlule. Lokhu kuphoqe inkampani ukuthi ibeke amathangi amanzi ezikhungweni zayo.
Uma i-TSMC inquma ukukhuphula amanani ama-wafer ngamaphesenti angama-25 futhi ikhansele izivumelwano okwakuvunyelwene ngazo ngaphambili nezinkampani, abenzi bama-smartphone bangagcina besebenzise imali engaphezu kwesabelomali, futhi lezo zindleko zingadluliselwa kumakhasimende.
