Well the good times can't last forever. Fortunately for TSMC the bad times are still relatively busy, and wafer agreements cannot be canceled.
 
43% growth for the year is nothing to sneeze at. Guidance will be interesting

My guess is 5-10% with a reduced CAPEX to $30-35B. I was hoping for 10-15% and $35-40B but word on the street is not so encouraging. N7 is lagging and only Apple will be on N3 in 2023. Plus record inventories will take some time to correct. TSMC should have a big year in 2024 though.

Is N7 family is lagging in adoption? Or is it just that people are moving to N5/3 family faster than N7 capacity can be refilled?

N7/6 was full but people are moving to N5/4 and Samsung 8/7nm is a cost competitive node. Samsung 5/4/3 not so much. I still think TSMC N3 will be a record setting FinFET node.

What can you do with all the 7nm fab capacity since everyone is moving to 5nm?
 
Not every chip will move to n5. Migrating from one node to the next is expensive from a design standpoint, so there will be many chips that don't require leading edge performance that will remain on n7, or perhaps skip n5 and wait for n3 to become more available. Just like there are still many chips on 14/16.

I'm looking at design starts. They were down for N7/6 in 2022.

Move customers from higher nodes to N6. N6 is also targeting automotive and other analog content.

Any idea what the cost crossover volume is for TSMC 7 vs. TSMC 28 (or 40), for a typical automotive design of N million transistors + <insert various amounts of analog here>? One-time costs seems like they would be very high, unless the IC is very large.
