TSMC has notified clients of a 3-8% price increase for its 5nm and 3nm process manufacturing in 2025 to reflect escalating costs, according to sources at IC design houses.

For reference, foundry giant TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) began mass-producing chips based on its 5nm N5 process in 2020 and 3nm chips for Apple's A-series and M-series in 2023.

Apple introduced the A14 chipset, the first generation Apple Silicon built on TSMC’s 5nm architecture in 2020, followed by the A15, built on the second generation 5nm process, in 2021.

But for China and SMIC, it’s a big deal. According to @Jukanlosreve on X, they cite a report from Korea’s Kiwoon Securities that claims that SMIC will complete its 5nm process by 2025.
