Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. this week said its revenue for the second quarter 2024 reached $20.82 billion, making it the company's best quarter (at least in dollars) to date. TSMC's high-performance computing (HPC) platform revenue share exceeded 52% for the first time in many years due to demand for AI processors and rebound of the PC market.
TSMC earned $20.82 billion USD in revenue for the second quarter of 2024, a 32.8% year-over-year increase and a 10.3% increase from the previous quarter. Perhaps more remarkable, $20.82 billion is a higher result than the company posted Q3 2022 ($20.23 billion), the foundry's best quarter to date. Otherwise, in terms of profitability, TSMC booked $7.59 billion in net income for the quarter, for a gross margin of 53.2%. This is a decent bit off of TSMC's record margin of 60.4% (Q3'22), and comes as the company is still in the process of further ramping its N3 (3nm-class) fab lines.
