Sources: Samsung raises prices for advanced 4nm and 5nm chipmaking services by up to 15% for new orders in July, driven by AI demand and TSMC's tight capacity (Reuters)
Samsung is using the AI capacity crunch to lift foundry pricing on new advanced-node orders.
Reuters’ sources say the increases apply to 4nm and 5nm chipmaking services for new July orders, with prices rising by as much as 15%. The driver cited is stronger AI-related demand, alongside tight capacity at TSMC. The note frames the move as a response to customers looking for advanced manufacturing capacity where supply is constrained. Techmeme's note
