TSMC explores Texas investment to expand U.S. chip production amid AI demand surge
TSMC is considering investing in Texas to enhance its U.S. chip manufacturing capabilities, driven by increasing demand for AI technologies. The company is in discussions to collaborate with Elon Musk's planned 'Terafab' chip manufacturing project in Texas, emphasizing that any facility there would be operated by TSMC. This potential expansion follows TSMC's record net profits of nearly $24 billion for the July-September 2026 quarter, up 69% from the previous year.
Key points
