Based on TSMC's outlook, the post suggests that capital expenditure from 2026 to 2028 could far exceed $200 billion, signaling that AI compute demand remains in a phase of robust growth.
The author notes that if TSMC is willing to scale CAPEX to this magnitude, it indicates that even one of the most capital-disciplined players in the AI supply chain is responding to unprecedented compute demands.
