| Tame Apple Press wrong about TSMC deal Analyst says Apple is treated the same as everyone else The Tame Apple Press has been telling the world+dog that TSMC is bending over backwards to keep Apple as a client with shed loads of sweeteners. While Apple is the outfit’s cash cow, it turns out that some of the rumours about any sweeteners the companies have might have are not true. One of the big deals is that any defective 3nm wafers using TSMC’s new process would not be billed to Apple. This would have saved Jobs’ Mob billions as one of the problems with the new process is the number of failed wafers pushing up the price. TSMC’s 3nm yield rate is 55 per cent. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has said that the two companies may do anything for love, but they will not do that. TSMC does not absorb the price of its defective 3nm wafers but will adjust it in the finished product, which would be the A17 Bionic. In Apple’s case, TSMC slaps the price on finished goods - the A17 Bionic for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max and, eventually, the M3 for various Macs. Instead of bearing the costs of defective wafers, TSMC adjusts those losses in the price of the finished goods, suggesting that Apple might be paying more for each A17 Bionic chip. https://fudzilla.com/news/57397-tame...le-s-tsmc-deal |
