TSMC’s 3nm and 2nm advanced process capacity, along with CoWoS advanced packaging, remains in short supply as demand stays strong in late Q3 2026. According to ChainCatcher, NVIDIA and Apple continue to absorb much of the advanced process and packaging supply, while Amazon Web Services’ Annapurna has recently increased AI chip tape-outs and secured more 3nm capacity. MediaTek is also competing for 2nm and 3nm capacity and CoWoS-S/L supply, driven by large orders tied to Google TPU-related chips. Market reports said TSMC has recently adjusted its capacity allocation, and MediaTek’s 3nm and 2nm scheduling has been fine-tuned after winning the Google TPU order. The next-generation TPU v9 is expected to use both TSMC CoWoS-L and Intel EMIB-T. TSMC’s main 3nm customer is now NVIDIA, which surpassed Apple as the largest customer in 2025, while 2nm demand is led by Apple and others. TSMC has accelerated expansion since early 2026. By the end of October, 2nm monthly capacity at Hsinchu Baoshan Fab 20 and Kaohsiung Fab 22 is expected to reach 50,000 wafers each, or about 100,000 wafers combined, while 3nm monthly capacity in Tainan is expected to reach about 185,000 wafers. Overall utilization was about 96.2% at the end of September, with processes from 16nm and 12nm down to 2nm running at 100%. Packaging shortages have also pushed advanced packaging orders outward, with ASE Group’s SPIL taking priority, followed by Amkor and Powertech. Powertech’s related testing and packaging capacity is fully booked, with order visibility extending to 2028.

a16z partner Josh Elman said product management is about storytelling, recalling that he began his career as an engineer at RealNetworks and worked on the product and engineering teams for RealPlayer, which had hundreds of millions of users. According to ChainCatcher, he said he was later interviewed by Reid Hoffman for LinkedIn and was asked what a product manager’s output is; he first answered a specification document, but later said that was the wrong answer and that the real output is a story people can pass along without him present. Elman said he once wrote a 120-page specification document at LinkedIn. He added that AI has collapsed the cost of making products and reversed the development loop, shifting the process from specifications and scope to building and experience. He said teams should use AI to quickly build prototypes, see how they feel, and then design and release after the prototype proves better than assumptions. He also said demos are now nearly free while working products are not, making decisions about what to build a debate over influence. Elman said vision consists of purpose, core actions, and cycles, and that teams should ask whether people are truly using the product. He added that guiding users is the most important moment in storytelling.
