Advanced-Node Capacity Tightness
"TSMC reported a blowout quarter — revenue +35% and profit +58% — driven by insatiable AI chip demand with advanced-node (≤7nm) wafers now ~74% of wafer revenue, suggesting capacity constraints and aggressive capex are the near-term story."
"TSMC's ability to supply the world's most advanced logic chips is at material risk because roughly 30% of its helium sourcing comes from Qatar, creating a production vulnerability that could force capacity curtailments."
