Don't costs for nodes decrease over time?
IE. N7 was much more expensive when it first launched than compared to now? And TSMC prices its wafers based on supply and demand so eventually, N7 will become very cheap.
Also, it's not a surprise that the top 10 TSMC customers have ordered less. It probably has way more to do with a massive inventory of unsold phones and computers, chip glut, and lower projected consumer demand. N3 pricing wouldn't make an impact in 2023.
- wmf 4y agoYes, but the relative prices may remain the same such that N3 is always more expensive per transistor than N5.
