Bitmain may continue to maintain the strength at TSMC 3nm with 60~90k wafer demand in Y2024.

August 11, 2023

Key Takeaways:

  • Bitmain's ongoing migration of its new crypto mining ASIC from 4/5nm to 3nm suggests continued robust investment in Y2024.
  • Anticipating substantial demand, Bitmain is expected to allocate significant wafer inputs to TSMC 3nm in Y2024, potentially leading to monthly demand of 6~8k/m.
  • In Y2024, Bitmain is projected to become the third largest TSMC 3nm customer, trailing only Apple and Qualcomm in wafer demand.
