TSMC reported a 66.4% gross margin and said advanced processes of 7 nanometers and below supplied 79% of wafer revenue. Its 2-nanometer process accounted for 8%.

Management forecasts fourth-quarter revenue of US$52.3 billion to US$54.3 billion. This is new results reporting following the earlier profit forecast, not another estimate of the same quarter. The filing notes the third-quarter figures had not yet received board approval.
