為了支撐前端製程的瘋狂擴張,報告更揭露了一項極具破壞性的後端策略:台積電可能關閉台灣舊有的 8 吋晶圓廠(200mm fabs)。這並非單純的淘汰舊產能,而是為了將這些廠房原地改建為 CoWoS、SoIC 等先進封裝產線。在 AI 晶片極度依賴異質整合的當下,封裝產能的戰略價值已超越成熟製程。這種「殺舊換新」的手段,顯示出台積電為了解決 AI 產能瓶頸,已準備好採取最激進的資源調度。
to commit fully to something with maximum effort and ambition, taking bold risks for significant rewards, or else not bothering to try at all, as half-measures aren't worthwhile. It's a call to be all-in, whether in sports, business, or personal goals, implying you should aim for the best possible outcome or stay out of the game.
Key Meanings & Applications:
Maximum Effort: Give something 110%; don't hold back.
Boldness & Ambition: Aim for huge achievements and take big, bold steps.
All-or-Nothing Mindset: If you can't commit fully, it's better to not attempt it.
High Stakes: Focus on big wins rather than small, incremental progress.
Examples:
In business: Launching a massive, expensive product instead of a small update.
In studying: Immersing yourself in the language (podcasts, books, videos) rather than just a few apps.
In life: Applying to your dream university despite long odds.
Origin:
The exact origin is debated, but it's linked to American sports culture (trick skiing, basketball) and potentially a 1990s motorcycle parts slogan.
Capital Expenditure (CAPEX,資本支出/營運成本),一般指企業注入的資金或固定資產、無形資產、遞延資產(Deferred Charges)的投入,除了物業和廠

AI 熱潮把先進製程直接推進「長期吃緊模式」。市場盛傳,台積電已開始與客戶溝通,規劃自 2026 年起,3 奈米以下先進製程連續 四年調漲報價,一路延續到 2029 年,而新價格機制最快將從元旦後正式生效。
While precise current market shares and pricing for the 2-nanometer (nm) process node are proprietary, TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) is the global leader in 2nm technology and holds a significant market lead overall in advanced nodes, with their market share for pure-play wafer foundries projected to reach 66% by 2025. The cost of 2nm chips is estimated to be around $85 for an "Apple chip," and the cost of a 300mm wafer is projected to be about $33,000, though these are rough estimates subject to variation, according to EEWorld and Tom's Hardware.
Market Leaders and Shares
TSMC:
As the world's most advanced 2nm technology provider, TSMC holds the dominant position in this area. Their overall pure-play wafer foundry market share is expected to grow, reaching an estimated 66% by 2025.
Other Foundries:
While TSMC leads in advanced nodes, other major foundries like Samsung, SMIC, and GlobalFoundries also compete in the advanced chip manufacturing space, though they lag behind TSMC.
Pricing Estimates
Chip-Level Pricing:
Estimates for 2nm chips are in the range of $85 for an "Apple chip," with lower yields being a factor, notes Tom's Hardware.
Wafer Pricing:
The price for 300mm wafers using the 2nm process is projected to be around $33,000, an increase from the previous generation, according to EEWorld.
Factors Influencing Price
High R&D and Manufacturing Costs:
Developing and mass-producing 2nm technology involves significant investment, with TSMC's total cost for this process reaching US$725 million.
Chip Design Costs:
The cost to design a 2nm chip is also substantial, estimated to be around US$724 million.
Yield Rates:
Yield rates, a measure of successful chips per wafer, play a crucial role in determining the final price.
Demand for AI Chips:
Strong demand for AI chips, which require advanced nodes like 2nm, drives up prices due to high complexity and robust market demand, notes this ROC Taiwan.org report.
