Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) needs to \u201cwork very hard\u201d to meet growing demand from leading US chip designer Nvidia<\/a>, which alone could require TSMC to more than double its capacity in the next decade, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has said.Huang\u2019s remarks followed a high-profile banquet on Saturday evening with executives of key supply chain partners in Taiwan, including TSMC<\/a> chairman and CEO C C Wei and Foxconn chairman Young Liu, as the Nvidia founder sought to shore up supply amid a production crunch on critical inputs for artificial intelligence infrastructure such as memory chips<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking outside the restaurant, Huang said that TSMC must increase output this year as Nvidia \u201cneeds a lot of wafers\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cTSMC is doing an incredible job and they\u2019re working very, very hard,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a lot of demand this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nvidia, based in Santa Clara, California, relies on a host of Taiwanese firms to manufacture and scale its cutting-edge computing solutions, including TSMC for advanced packaging and wafers and Foxconn for servers. Last month, TSMC said capital spending could jump up to 37 per cent this year to US$56 billion and increase \u201csignificantly\u201d in 2028 and 2029 due to AI demand.<\/p>\n
