TSMC is a huge player in the tech industry. Being the world's largest producer of semiconductors, it has clients from Apple to Qualcomm, all the way to Nvidia and AMD. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, fresh off the company being valued at $5 trillion, recently went out to Hsinchu County in northwestern Taiwan to acknowledge TSMC's role in Nvidia's success.
"Without TSMC, there is no Nvidia today", the Nvidia chief said at TSMC's Sports Day last week (via Focus Taiwan). This is certainly true. You see TSMC chips in everything from the latest Blackwell GPUs (like the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080) to the AI chips that have helped prop up Nvidia's worth.
