The 7.2-magnitude earthquake in Hualien, Taiwan, affected seven wafer foundries across Taiwan, with losses estimated to be over NT$10 billion.

The strong earthquake caused major wafer fabs to suspend production and damage equipment. Although manufacturers such as TSMC and Advanced Micro Devices have stated that they are resuming production, output values are still affected.

Although Nvidia claims that its supply with TSMC is not affected, the earthquake may have a significant impact on the global technology industry and economy, as Taiwan plays a key role in the production of chips, which are the core components of artificial intelligence, smartphones and electric vehicles. part.
