Nvidia can only say no if they have another shop to turn to. Do they?
- mewpmewp2 2y agoThe way that could play out is that Nvidia wouldn't buy directly from them, but somebody else purchases cheaper from TSMC and then Nvidia buys from them. So TSMC would have to increase prices for everyone, but then for some it would be too expensive and so they would lose those customers.
- nabla9 2y agoThat's not how it works. You can't resell. Nvidia engineers work shoulder to shoulder with TSMC to squeeze everything from the architecture even before the fab is build. TSMC makes custom job for their best customers. For old established process it's possible to send design and get functioning chips without a huge R&D hassle and loss of performance.
