### Comment:
No I mean I've never heard of TSMC hiking the price when lines are full.  If you're not allocated lines you're just SOL until some are freed up.  You can't bribe them or anything.  They have they own set of calculus on which customer to allocate lines to.

### REPLY:

 Business bribes are called production contracts. 
  
 Supply/demand means those contracts would get more expensive. 
  
 AMD's contract would be for a defined volume. If AMD asks for double their contracted volume, TSMC cannot currently just accommodate that.
