TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC said fourth-quarter net profit rose 57% to a record on Thursday, in line with expectations, as it benefits from surging demand for semiconductors used in artificial intelligence processing.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker and a major Apple and Nvidia supplier, saw October to December net profit rise to T$374.68 billion ($11.38 billion) from T$238.7 billion a year earlier.
