Taiwanese contract chipmaker TSMC has held talks with its customers about whether to move its fabs off the island amid increased tensions with China, although such a move would be impossible, a senior executive said on Tuesday. Speaking to reporters after the company's annual shareholder meeting in Hsinchu, where TSMC is headquartered, Chairman C.C. Wei said that given 80-90% of its production capacity is in Taiwan, it would be impossible to move the factories.
台積電結束雙首長制,總裁魏哲家周二(4 日)正式接任董事長,《日經新聞》周一指出,他將面臨三個挑戰,其中地緣政治是最大、也最難控制的風險。
台積電董事長劉德音在股東大會上表示,人工智能(AI)的應用增加晶片需求,對公司未來業務增長充滿信心,又指公司沒有計劃改變業務模式,亦不會與客戶競爭。對於華為進軍晶片製造領域,劉德音指,台積電永遠都有競爭對手,目前公司處於領先地位,在乎的是進步速度是否比其他對手更快,認為公司不太可能會被對手趕上。 有小股東問及台積電股價太高是否考慮與輝達(Nvidia)一樣分拆股票,劉德音笑言台積電股價沒有那麼高。另外,他否定了股票回購計劃,指台積電是重資產公司,希望將收益盡量給予股東。 (ST)#台積電
