Foundry TSMC states prices of graphics cards and processors will increase by 9%

PC component prices are returning to normal now that the epidemic and crypto meltdown have passed, but it does not appear that this will be a sure thing in the near future. The cost of graphics cards and processors might increase by up to 9 percent in 2023, according to TSMC.

Graphics cards and processors are anticipated to experience price increases as a result of the current global inflation trend. As a result, TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company), the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, predicts that graphics cards and processors will increase in price by 6 to 9 percent beginning in January 2023.

And this prognosis seems to come at a bad moment, given that the top three chip manufacturers, TSMC, Samsung, and Intel, are working hard to increase chip production in order to fulfill market demand and produce next-generation equipment. However, neither businesses nor consumers are prepared to pay a high price for products, especially those that are unnecessary. In addition, the increase occurs at a time when the economic situation is worsening and the price of essential items is rising.

Despite this concern, the outlook for TSMC remains positive. A report that the business is due to disclose at the conclusion of the second quarter indicates that the Taiwanese powerhouse could sell more chips for the first time than Intel.
