TSMC Evaluates $265 Billion Texas Semiconductor Campus as AI Chip Demand Soars

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is weighing a substantial new manufacturing campus in Texas that could add up to $265 billion in investment to support accelerating demand for advanced AI chips. The company is evaluating a Dallas-area site that would eventually house six advanced wafer fabrication plants, matching the total committed investment for its existing Arizona complex. The plan remains unapproved by TSMC's board of directors, and the company has not formally notified suppliers to begin preparations, according to industry supply-chain discussions.
