TSMC's Q3 shown bulk of their revenue come from higher end node. 7nm along is at 34%. the only other options for high end node is Samsung and Intel.
I don't see any long term problem for TSMC if they keep going at its current pace.
Not many foundry can do high end. GlobalFoundries vow out at 7nm a long time ago.
