Today’s semiconductor news is largely driven by TSMC’s bullish capital expenditure plans, triggered by its earnings announcement, and NVIDIA’s acceleration of its AI infrastructure strategy. TSMC has announced plans to increase its capital expenditures for 2026 and step up investment in EUV lithography systems.In response, foreign brokerages are forecasting price increases in 2027, suggesting that demand for cutting-edge processes remains exceptionally strong. Meanwhile, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang visited Japan and emphasized the importance of physical AI by unveiling the country’s first AI factory equipped with Rubin GPUs.Furthermore, the growing complexity of the supply chain has been highlighted by issues such as shipment delays for NVIDIA’s next-generation “RTX 50 SUPER” series GPUs due to soaring memory prices, as well as the challenges in selecting manufacturing technologies mentioned by TSMC CEO Wei Zhejia.Geopolitical cooperation is also deepening, as evidenced by the hosting of an AI technology forum between Japan and Taiwan and progress in image sensor production through the collaboration between Sony and TSMC. The semiconductor industry is thus in the midst of a massive investment cycle and a whirlwind of technological innovation, driven by demand for AI.

Main News
- Following TSMC’s earnings announcement, foreign brokerages forecast a sharp increase in capital expenditures driven by EUV and price hikes in 2027
During its earnings conference call, TSMC revised upward its 2026 capital expenditure forecast and full-year revenue growth outlook.While acknowledging that the launch of the 2nm process and expansion to overseas facilities could temporarily weigh on gross profit, the company remains extremely eager to invest in advanced packaging and EUV lithography systems, driven by AI demand.Consequently, the market predicts that TSMC is highly likely to raise its manufacturing prices in 2027, making the upward trend in semiconductor manufacturing costs increasingly evident. - NVIDIA CEO Vehemently Denies Chip Delay Rumors, States Massive Volume of Rubin GPUs Is Coming, and Unveils Japan’s First AI Factory Equipped with 27,500 Rubin GPUs
CEO Jensen Huang strongly denied rumors circulating in some quarters regarding design delays for the next-generation AI platform “Rubin.”During his visit to Japan, he unveiled the launch of the country’s first AI factory equipped with 27,500 Rubin GPUs, emphasizing that the supply system is proceeding as planned. He proposed that Japan should play a leading role in the societal implementation of physical AI and made clear his commitment to accelerating industrial transformation centered on NVIDIA’s AI technology. - TSMC CEO confesses that selecting chip manufacturing technology is not as simple as buying milk at 7-Eleven, and that he is jealous of Samsung’s profits.
TSMC CEO Wei Zhejia emphasized in a dialogue with investors that selecting a manufacturing process is an extremely complex decision. He also commented on the profitability of competitor Samsung Foundry, frankly stating that he was “jealous” of its profit levels. This statement has attracted attention as an episode that symbolizes the fierce competitive environment in the foundry industry and how sophisticated management decisions are required for the mass production of cutting-edge technologies. - TSMC increases its 2026 budget, adding $100 billion to its investments in the United States.
TSMC has announced a significant increase in its capital expenditure budget for 2026, including plans to invest an additional $100 billion, particularly to expand its production facilities in the United States. This is a strategic measure to mitigate geopolitical risks and meet the surging demand for AI chips in the U.S. market. As the company continues to restructure its global supply chain, the scale of TSMC’s investments is becoming a key indicator of the industry’s overall capital expenditure trends. - Success Prospects and Challenges of Joint Production of Semiconductor Image Sensors through the “Sony × Taiwan TSMC” Partnership
The joint production of image sensors through the partnership between Sony and TSMC is a strategic project that combines the strengths of both companies. In particular, the concept of “factory lightweighting” is depicted, depicting scenarios that maximize production capacity while streamlining capital investment. This partnership serves as a touchstone for a new business model for manufacturing, focusing on how to supply advanced technologies while maintaining cost competitiveness amid growing demand for high value-added sensors. - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 SUPER GPUs have reportedly arrived at the AIB (Article Inventory), but shipments are on hold due to undetermined memory pricing.
NVIDIA’s next-generation GPU, the RTX 50 SUPER series, has arrived at board partners (AIBs), but its release has been put on hold. The main reason is that the price of the GDDR7 memory it will use remains high, making it difficult to determine the final product price. NVIDIA is carefully considering the release timing to maintain market stability, highlighting how memory costs directly impact product development. - Taiwan-Japan AI Technology Forum Seeks Closer Partnerships
An AI Technology Forum was held, bringing together government and business representatives from Taiwan and Japan, where strengthening cooperation between the two countries was discussed. In particular, cooperation in advanced semiconductor fields, such as TSMC’s 2nm process and Japan’s Rapidus project, is a key focus. In building AI infrastructure, efforts to strengthen global supply chains are accelerating by combining Taiwan’s manufacturing capabilities with Japan’s materials and equipment technologies. - AI Server Tracker: Leading Taiwanese Test and Design Service Providers Surges Due to Global Chip Demand
With the global expansion of demand for AI servers, revenue for Taiwanese semiconductor testing and design service companies is surging. The increasing complexity of AI chips has increased the importance of post-manufacturing testing processes and design support, maintaining high operating rates among related companies. This trend proves that not only chip manufacturing but also peripheral design and verification services are essential elements supporting the entire AI ecosystem. - “Japan Should Lead in Physical AI—We Need to Act Quickly, ” Says NVIDIA CEO
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang emphasized that Japan has the potential to lead the world in the field of physical AI (AI that operates in the real world, such as robotics and autonomous driving).He argued that integrating Japan’s manufacturing base with AI technology will spark a new industrial revolution and called for swift investment and development. This proposal is expected to significantly boost momentum for AI adoption within Japan’s industrial sector. - Guoke Microelectronics plans to raise funds not exceeding 506 million yuan; investment in AI chip projects to be discussed at shareholders’ meeting.
China’s Goke Microelectronics announced a fundraising plan of up to 506 million yuan. The funds raised will be allocated to research, development, and industrialization projects for next-generation AI visual processing chips, media interactive AI chips, and edge AI chips. With approval from the shareholders’ meeting, the aim is to strengthen competitiveness in the AI fusion chip market and optimize its capital structure.
