25% is huge for a foudry. I hope this is just a mix issue and not a sign of a larger downturn for the industry.

Very huge. TSMC is doing well. Something must be wrong in UMC. I do not think this in industry-wide

compare the websites of UMC and TSMC. The later one has a good communication in their front home page reflecting all their achivemnets.A kind of good self exposure and this shows their interest to magnetise the customers. I can expect that same is being done in all their interactions with their services for maintaining their business.
