TSMC eyes price hikes of up to 25% on chip production services in 2027, report claims — plans to raise baseline prices by 5% to 10% on advanced nodes

What happened

TSMC plans to raise baseline prices on advanced nodes (7nm and below) by 5-10% and mature nodes by up to 10%, effective early 2027. Additional HPC capacity demand will incur a 10-15% premium, potentially totaling a 25% increase. Bullish for foundry pricing power driven by AI demand and rising tool costs.
