This data can&#8217;t be stored in traditional ways, either. It must be stored in data centers that can process massive amounts of information at high speeds and supply the electricity that&#8217;s needed to power them 24\/7. Some estimates say an AI query uses 10 times as much electricity as a standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/how-to-invest\/stocks\/how-to-invest-in-google-stock\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\">Google search<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Data centers&#8217; importance to training and scaling AI is why we&#8217;ve seen an explosion in spending related to them.

However, every single one of them relies on TSMC to manufacture the chips and bring them to life. If we&#8217;re using cars as a comparison, those companies are the designers and brands, but TSMC is the factory that actually builds the engines.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a good reason for that, too. No company compares to TSMC&#8217;s efficiency and scale, which is why its market share on advanced AI chips is well into the upper-90% range. <strong>Samsung<\/strong> and <strong>Intel<\/strong> both manufacture chips, but neither comes close to TSMC.<\/p>\n<p>The reliance on TSMC for its AI chip manufacturing has also begun to show in its financials. In the third quarter, high-performance computing (HPC) accounted for 57% of TSMC&#8217;s $33.1 billion in revenue. Three years ago, in Q3 2022, HPC was only 39% of TSMC&#8217;s revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Before HPC, smartphones accounted for most of TSMC&#8217;s revenue. This new shift in demand works in TSMC&#8217;s favor because smartphones tend to be more about consumer upgrade cycles, while AI chips are poised to be sustained investments.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"my-6 text-2xl font-bold\">Playing into the hands of the electricity-conscious tech companies<\/h2>\n<p>TSMC&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/c\/competitive-moat\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\">moat is already wide<\/a>, but one thing that&#8217;s furthering its advantage is that its chips are not only faster, but also more power-efficient. Its new A14 manufacturing process is expected to produce chips that are 15% faster and use 30% less power. That should be music to data center operators&#8217; ears because it could noticeably reduce energy consumption.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the original build-out, maintaining a data center costs companies millions annually. Being able to run it with more power-efficient chips could mean meaningful savings.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"my-6 text-2xl font-bold\">TSMC seems to be fairly priced<\/h2>\n<p>For a company operating in a virtual monopoly, TSMC&#8217;s stock isn&#8217;t as expensive as one might expect it to be. At the time of this writing, it&#8217;s trading at 28 times its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/f\/forward-pe\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\">projected earnings over the next 12 months<\/a>. That&#8217;s much cheaper than companies like Nvidia, AMD, and <strong>Broadcom<\/strong>, while still delivering strong earnings growth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/companies\/AMD\/chart\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img alt=\"AMD PE Ratio (Forward) Chart\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"490\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent;max-width:720px\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 720px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/081526fc11a0394d87552daff4f93d6d.png 320w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/081526fc11a0394d87552daff4f93d6d.png 384w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/081526fc11a0394d87552daff4f93d6d.png 640w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/081526fc11a0394d87552daff4f93d6d.png 750w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/081526fc11a0394d87552daff4f93d6d.png 828w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/081526fc11a0394d87552daff4f93d6d.png 1080w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/081526fc11a0394d87552daff4f93d6d.png 1200w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/081526fc11a0394d87552daff4f93d6d.png 1920w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/081526fc11a0394d87552daff4f93d6d.png 2048w, https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/081526fc11a0394d87552daff4f93d6d.png 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/media.ycharts.com\/charts\/081526fc11a0394d87552daff4f93d6d.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/companies\/AMD\/forward_pe_ratio\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AMD PE Ratio (Forward)<\/a> data by <a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YCharts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no doubt that TSMC stands to gain from the projected data center build-outs.
