The Zhitong Finance App learned that on Friday, TSM.US (TSM.US) rose more than 6% to $376.65. On the news, according to reports, two sources said that TSMC is considering expanding into the field of advanced memory chip manufacturing. This move will allow the world's largest chip maker to occupy a larger share of the AI hardware supply chain. TSM.N recently began developing plans to produce a specific type of advanced memory chip, 3D DRAM, in response to requests from its largest user, Nvidia (NVDA.O).

DRAM is dynamic random access memory, which saves data when the processor uses data. Unlike traditional DRAM, traditional DRAM places memory units in a single layer, while 3D DRAM stacks the units vertically to accommodate more memory. Memory chip manufacturing is currently dominated by Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology. The three companies are also developing 3D DRAM technology to compete in next-generation memory manufacturing. The severe shortage of memory chips triggered by the AI hardware boom has caused prices to soar and prompted chip design companies such as Nvidia and Apple to find additional sources of supply.
