Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) shares rose 0.2% before the US market opened on Friday, following positive remarks from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. During a recent visit to Taiwan, Huang praised TSMC, calling it a "very wise" investment decision. The NVIDIA CEO highlighted the strong partnership between the two companies and expressed confidence in TSMC's capabilities. This positive feedback from a prominent industry leader contributed to TSM's stock increase [1].

Huang's visit to TSMC was part of a series of trips to Taiwan this year. He met with top TSMC executives to discuss Nvidia's latest virtual reality-related chips and the company's plans to launch new devices, including Spectrum-X Phonics switches. Huang also mentioned that Nvidia is working with TSMC on six new chips, including a central processing unit, a graphics processing unit, and NVilink chips used in switch production. These new products are currently in TSMC's fabs [2].

The visit comes amidst ongoing discussions about AI chip sales to China and potential new chip developments. Nvidia is in talks with the US government regarding the potential sale of a successor to its H20 chip in China. The situation is complex, with Nvidia having to balance strong demand from Chinese companies against US export restrictions [3].

Huang's remarks also underscored the importance of TSMC in the semiconductor industry. He praised TSMC as "one of the greatest companies in the history of humanity" and mentioned that TSMC is currently working on six new products for Nvidia, including a new CPU and GPU for advanced computation and AI [4].
