TSMC is considering building a new, multibillion-dollar chipmaking campus in Texas as part of its broader expansion of manufacturing capacity in the United States. Bloomberg reports that the potential Texas site would represent tens of billions of dollars in additional investment, extending TSMC’s multiyear buildout of fabrication plants aimed at supplying advanced chips.
Both outlets place the discussion in the context of TSMC’s already announced US plans. Quartz says TSMC has committed $265 billion to a semiconductor campus in Arizona. It adds that a Texas investment would likely involve multiple fabrication plants, with each plant costing at least $20 billion, indicating the scale of any new Texas location.
While the sources agree on the existence of ongoing Texas deliberations and the likely investment magnitude, they differ in emphasis. Bloomberg focuses on the overall potential “tens of billions” figure and the role of the new campus in ramping up AI-related chip production, while Quartz provides more granular information on the likely number and cost of fabrication plants.
