<ul>
<li>We think TSMC is still considering 1) at what time and 2) what technologies to further raise wafer price now.</li>
<li>TSMC’s largest client is Apple. Qualcomm should be the 2nd client because they will ship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 from TSMC in 4Q22. Nvidia/MediaTek are the 3rd/4th clients. </li>
<li>TSMC is giving nearly 49% stock ownership to Sony for CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) Fab in Japan. It is mainly to obtain the CIS technology, to our thoughts. </li>
