Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. , the world's largest contract chip maker, warned chip sales will fall sharply in the coming months , such as mobile device manufacturers to control the introduction of new products and high-end mobile phones in uae sales will weaken .

While gadgets to help TSMC's sales surge in third- quarter net profit growth of more than 5% , companies such as Apple , Samsung Electronics and other smartphones manufacturers will command fewer new parts , including chips, as they ran the stock , and then begin to line up new model.

It used to say in October -December earnings could fall more than 7% , compared to the previous three months.

"Mobile products ship is slowing, " TSMC chairman and CEO Morris Chang , told investors conference in Taipei . He said : decline in revenue in the fourth quarter , mainly " because of weaker demand in some high-end smart phones and inventory correction ."

The third quarter is typically the high water mark for the chip company for equipment manufacturers to bring new products to market ahead of the year-end holiday season , a key time gadget sales . TSMC also experienced dip in sales in the fourth quarter, the company ran down the supply list .

Earlier on Thursday, the company reported a net profit for the third quarter, beating analysts' forecasts , rising to T $ 519 million 50 million for the quarter record. Revenue in the period was 180 million T $ 1625 .

The company controls $ 34.6 billion contract to half the global chip market .

TSMC's direct customers are Qualcomm , Texas Instruments and Nvidia Corp. chip designers . In turn , these companies would sell chips like Samsung and Apple's smart phone manufacturers.

"The fourth quarter is the right to be a little flaky now a quarter of people we've seen them a significant slowdown in the semiconductor chip production , signs ," said Dean Freeman , a vice president at technology research firm gartner investigation , before speaking TSMC forecast.

"A lot of consumers are just depends on how it feels to expenditure , and now you look at the data from the United States , if consumers do not feel lively. They really have been cut ."
