TSMC, one of the larger made-to-order chipmaker announced its intention of soon increasing its tariffs on the production of the chips using its latest technologies.
In addition to the increase in the raw materials, this tariff increase is justified by the explosion of the costs of installing new production equipment.
If the base-line chips are not be impacted, the top-of-the-range products such as the graphics chips will see their price increasing.
No order of magnitude was communicated on this tariff rise but if' one adds it with those already announced by other computer components, our computers are likely to cost us more in the near future.
