TSMC is reportedly raising chipmaking prices by up to 10% in 2027 as AI demand and global expansion drive up its costs. Via Bloomberg Nikkei says the company began discussions with customers in June and finalized the base-price increases this month. This could significantly increase overall costs, both for data center expansion and for products in the consumer market such as iPhones.

@kimmonismus One would expect with all the money they're making we would see increased production. But no all there is, is price hikes. They're taking advantage of the situation
@kimmonismus The future belongs to people who keep learning. Every update is another opportunity to improve our workflows.
@kimmonismus Looks like my cloud deployment budget is about to hit another 10 percent surcharge just to render a basic staging environment.
@kimmonismus Data center and consumers, get ready to face its heat
@kimmonismus Technology is about to get more expensive lmao
