Tsmc could also have difficulties with its 10, 12 and 16 nm nodes

A few days ago we told you about the delays that TSMC was suffering with its 7nm chip manufacturing process, due to strong market demand. Apparently, this problem is also being transferred to its other 10, 12 and 16 nm nodes.

TSMC would have problems with chip manufacturing at 10, 12 and 16 nm nodes

The 7nm delay would multiply by 3, going from 2 to 6 months. This news does not bode well for the different market players, in particular AMD. But things could be worse. In fact, delivery times could also increase for other manufacturing processes.

Thus, we are also talking about 10nm, 12nm and 16nm with problems and delays, according to Digitimes sources. This means that the production of other brands could also be affected and we are now thinking of NVIDIA, which uses 12nm for all its Turing chips that are manufactured by TSMC.

Therefore, TSMC is at maximum production capacity and the global demand for semiconductors is constantly growing, putting various manufacturers at risk and not just TSMC, since we know that Intel faces the same difficulties with its 14-process nm.

If this is true, then we are faced with another panorama of lack of stock and prices that are going to rise in the coming months, not only in the processor sector, but also in the graphics card segment. How much more will they go up in price? It is difficult to estimate at this time. We will keep you informed.
