Most of the leading fabless semiconductor companies such as AMD, Apple, ARM, Broadcom, Marvell, MediaTek, and Nvidia, are customers of TSMC, as are emerging companies such as Allwinner Technology, HiSilicon, Spectra7, and Spreadtrum.
Who are TSMC main customers?
So far, these are Apple, AMD and MediaTek. Apple, unsurprisingly, remains the Taiwanese foundry's biggest customer, thanks to its huge volumes of iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches.
Who does TSMC make chips for?
Much as contract manufacturer Foxconn will make electronics for two rival firms, TSMC will happily produce silicon for two fierce rivals; for instance, Nvidia and AMD, which compete in the graphics card vertical, both contract TSMC to manufacture their silicon from provided designs.
