TSMC’s N2 wafers are fully booked, and monthly revenue is still up 67.9% YoY

The post argues that TSMC effectively has a monopoly on every N2 wafer coming out of mass production, and that the long capacity lead time leaves no quick supply response to tightening demand.
It also says the physics of GAA transistors at N2 increases metrology and process-control requirements, creating more demand for suppliers such as Nova Measuring Instruments as TSMC expands fabs in Hsinchu and Arizona.
The attached chart adds a broader demand signal: TSMC monthly revenue is shown at about $14B, up 6.2% month over month and 67.9% year over year, which the author interprets as a clean read on AI chip demand pass-through.
