TSMC Sees $725 Billion AI Buildout Driving Demand for 3 More Years

Summary
Three more years of AI-driven demand are what TSMC now expects, pushing back against investors who say the current buildout is overdone.
The skepticism centers on $725 billion of combined AI infrastructure spending, with some investors questioning whether companies such as Meta are adding more computing capacity than they need.
C.C. Wei said in June that TSMC still would not be able to meet demand from U.S. customers for years, even as new manufacturing capacity comes online.
That stance reinforces TSMC's view that chip demand remains supply-constrained rather than headed for a near-term AI spending bust.
