    TSMC 3nm Ramp May Hit 180,000 Wafers Early in Q4 2026

    TSMC is reportedly pulling its 3nm ramp forward to roughly 180,000 wafer starts a month at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2026, rather than at year-end, while the first building at its Taichung A14 site is expected to be structurally complete before April 2027. The first claim could...
