TAIPEI, Oct ‌15 (Reuters) - ​TSMC, ​the world's largest contract ‌chipmaker, posted a 69% ⁠jump in third-quarter net ‌profit on Thursday, ‌beating market forecasts and hitting a ​record, thanks to soaring global demand ⁠for its AI processors.

The profit easily ⁠beat a T$746.3 billion LSEG ​SmartEstimate, which is weighted toward forecasts from analysts ‌who are more consistently accurate.
