That’s because tariffs are imposed on importers, not exporters. TSMC is an exporter. However, tariffs can lead to slightly higher prices, and when prices go up, demand may go down,” Wei said at the company’s annual shareholders meeting, as&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/tsmc-says-tariffs-have-some-impact-ai-demand-robust-2025-06-03/">cited</a> by Reuters.&nbsp;Many U.S. chip designers, including Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and Qualcomm (QCOM), rely on TSMC to fabricate their most advanced chips.“If demand drops, TSMC’s business could be affected. But I can assure you that AI demand has always been very strong and it's consistently outpacing supply,” he added.Wei said TSMC had discussed the impact of tariffs with the U.S. Commerce Department and warned that levies could raise costs at its Arizona manufacturing sites, where the company is investing $165 billion.&nbsp;“The U.S. Commerce Department said this is open for discussion, but how long that will take remains unclear,” Wei said. “The real point is that we are in active communication, because only through understanding can they realise the consequences.”He also reiterated that the additional $100 billion in investment announced in March alongside President Donald Trump will be challenging to deliver on schedule. “He said, ‘Mr Wei, do your best, that’s good enough.’”Wei dismissed speculation about a potential expansion to the United Arab Emirates, stating that TSMC has “no plans” for a Middle East facility and that it is “not very likely” the company would have customers there.Domestically, the appreciation of the Taiwan dollar has shaved more than three percentage points off TSMC’s gross margin, Wei noted, reiterating concerns shared during the company’s earnings call in April.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.stocktwits.com/symbol/TSM">TSM’s stock</a> has fallen 1% this year but gained more than 25% over the past 12 months.

TSMC CEO Says AI Demand Strong, But Trump’s Tariffs Still a Risk

Chief executive C.C. Wei also reiterated that the additional $100 billion in investment announced in March alongside President Donald Trump will be challenging to deliver on schedule.

Nvidia (NVDA) and Dell Technologies (DELL) are teaming up with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to build its ‘Doudna’ supercomputer, the agency announced Thursday.Slated to launch in 2026, Doudna will be housed at the DOE’s National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC).&nbsp;The system will be built using Dell’s advanced liquid-cooled server architecture and Nvidia’s newly announced Vera Rubin platform, which combines GPUs and CPUs optimized for both AI and high-performance computing (HPC).According to the DOE, Doudna will deliver more than ten times the performance of Perlmutter, NERSC’s current flagship supercomputer.&nbsp;Its capabilities are expected to enhance research in molecular dynamics, high-energy physics, and artificial intelligence, supporting both training and inference at scale.“Doudna is a time machine for science–compressing years of discovery into days,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.The supercomputer is named after Jennifer Doudna, the Berkeley Lab-based biochemist and Nobel laureate credited with co-discovering the gene-editing technology CRISPR.NERSC Director Sudip Dosanjh stated the lab is working with Nvidia and Dell to help its 11,000 users prepare for the system’s new capabilities. “The Doudna supercomputer is designed to accelerate a broad set of scientific workflows,” he said.Beyond traditional HPC, Doudna will support quantum simulation research using Nvidia’s CUDA-Q platform. This includes the development of large-scale quantum algorithms, modeling of quantum systems, and co-design of future hybrid quantum-HPC systems.The system will feature Dell Integrated Rack Scalable Systems and PowerEdge servers equipped with Nvidia accelerators.&nbsp;It will also include Nvidia Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking and data infrastructure capable of handling automated, AI-driven workflows and interactive computing across multiple facilities.The DOE said Doudna will be used to integrate AI more deeply into modeling and simulation tasks across scientific disciplines, from biomolecular modeling to materials design.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NVDA">Nvidia’s stock</a> edged 0.5% lower in pre-market trade on Friday.
