On the stage of the global semiconductor industry, TSMC is undoubtedly one of the brightest stars. Recently, with the exposure of TSMC's customer list, we were able to get a glimpse of the customer ecology behind the chip manufacturing giant. This list not only reveals the market position of the technology giants, but also reflects the development trend and competitive landscape of the semiconductor industry.
Apple: TSMC's crown jewel
As TSMC's largest customer, Apple accounts for 25.18% of TSMC's annual revenue, which fully proves Apple's massive demand for high-end chips and TSMC's core position in Apple's supply chain. From smartphones to tablets to wearables, Apple's product line's reliance on advanced process technology has brought TSMC stable orders and handsome returns.

NVIDIA: Upstart in the AI era
Nvidia, which followed Apple, jumped to second place with 10.11% of its revenue. NVIDIA's rise is due to its in-depth layout in the field of artificial intelligence. With the rapid development of AI technology, the demand for NVIDIA's GPUs in areas such as AI computing, data centers, and autonomous driving has surged, which has not only driven NVIDIA's own growth, but also brought new business opportunities for TSMC.
AMD vs. Intel: Competition and Transformation
In TSMC's customer list, AMD and Intel's rankings and revenue proportions have also attracted much attention. As a traditional chipmaker, Intel is facing the challenge of transformation, while AMD is gradually expanding its market share with its strong performance in the processor market. The changes in orders between the two companies at TSMC not only reflect their own competitive situation, but also indicate the future direction of the semiconductor industry.
Controversy and transparency of the list
Although TSMC's customer list provides us with valuable industry information, industry insiders have questioned the accuracy of the list. This controversy is a reminder of the need to be cautious when analysing and interpreting industry data. At the same time, it also calls on TSMC and other companies to be more transparent and rigorous in information disclosure to maintain the healthy development of the industry.
TSMC's performance growth and industry trends
The latest data shows that TSMC's sales in May rose sharply by 30% year-on-year, and this growth is closely related to the surge in demand for artificial intelligence and the recovery of consumer electronics. With the continuous development of AI technology, companies such as Nvidia are expected to occupy an increasingly important position in TSMC's customer list.
Conclusion: TSMC's dance with tech giants
The exposure of TSMC's customer list is not only a simple business report, but also a microcosm of the semiconductor industry pattern. Apple's supremacy, NVIDIA's rapid rise, and AMD's competitive transformation with Intel all constitute a multi-dimensional picture of TSMC's business development. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous change of market demand, the cooperation and competition between TSMC and its customers will be more exciting. The story behind this list deserves our continued attention and in-depth analysis.
