ASML unveils EUV light source upgrade to boost chip output by 50% by 2030

What happened

ASML announced an upgraded EUV light source increasing power from 600W to 1000W, which could boost wafer throughput per machine from 220 to 330 per hour by 2030. This is a long-term R&D milestone aimed at improving production efficiency for advanced chipmakers like TSMC and Intel. Neutral: No immediate supply or price impact; this is a future capacity enhancement.
