Podcast highlights: TSMC's 3nm demand story, Samsung HBM shift, and A14 ramp

What happened

Following TSMC's third-quarter 2026 earnings call, DIGITIMES analyst Luke Lin provided additional analysis in a podcast of several details that received limited attention in market coverage. The topics included: a new 3nm fab at the Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP); the transfer of Nvidia-related high-bandwidth memory (HBM) base die orders to TSMC; and whether demand for A14 includes Intel server CPUs. The source only lists podcast discussion topics and does not provide specific figures, whether the order transfer is already effective, a timeline for the new fab, or a conclusion on the A14 question; the source does not state the cause.
