TSMC invests $100m in three US chip startups: SiMa.ai, Ayar Labs, and Ethernovia. The move is part of TSMC's effort to remain competitive in the changing semiconductor industry.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is set to increase its output and profit with an increase in demand for its advanced process manufacturing capacity, thanks to Nvidia. The industry's growth is expected to push global semiconductor to new heights.

Investors looking to capitalize on the AI trend have more options than just Nvidia. Twilio, trading at a low multiple of just 3 times sales, and TSMC, the world's largest pure-play semiconductor foundry, offer affordable yet promising possibilities for growth in the AI market. Twilio's Studio visual application builder and TSMC's dominance in chip production make them attractive investments for the growing demand for AI applications.

Taiwan's TSMC has kickstarted pre-production operations for its 2nm process, utilizing AI to enhance energy efficiency in the process. The move aims to bring the chips to mass production by 2025 with Apple and Nvidia set to be early customers. Samsung is also working on 2nm chips but anticipates delivering via a 1.4nm process by 2027. The drive towards smaller, more powerful, and energy-efficient chips is intense, and TSMC and Samsung are competing to meet demand.

Intel's Meteor Lake chip will have built-in circuitry for AI acceleration, improving privacy, security, and response time. Users can expect better performance without relying on the cloud. #Intel #AIacceleration #MeteorLake
