# TSMC August Revenue Surges 53% on N2 Chip Demand

September 10, 2026 at 11:24 AM

> TSMC reports record August revenue of $16.1 billion driven by Apple's new N2-based A20 Pro and M6 chips alongside strong N3 and N5 sales.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. reported August 2026 revenue of 514.81 billion New Taiwan Dollar, approximately $16.1 billion. This marks a 53 percent increase year-over-year and a 10.1 percent rise from July, bringing year-to-date growth to 39.3 percent.

The surge follows **Apple**'s launch of the A20 Pro smartphone SoC and M6 chip, both built on **TSMC**'s N2 process. The A20 Pro hits stores September 18, while the M6-powered Mac mini arrives September 22. AMD also plans N2 Epyc and Instinct chips for Q4 release.

While the N2 process held a three percent revenue share in Q2, N3 and N5 nodes currently drive nearly two-thirds of total revenue. The 7-nm family adds 11 percent to wafer sales, highlighting TSMC's successful transition toward advanced node manufacturing.
