The industry estimated that 30,000 wafers were affected, and the loss amount was less than NT$1 billion (equivalent to RMB 230 million). At present, the world’s advanced chips are in short supply. TSMC’s first-quarter revenue also exceeded analyst expectations.
On average, analysts expect TSMC’s revenue in the first quarter to be NT$360.5 billion. It now appears that TSMC has succeeded in setting a record for the third consecutive quarter.
