- devy 9y agoYeah, most of the advanced chip fabs are still located in Taiwan for strategic/political reasons
- baybal2 9y agoTSMC did suffer complete loss of like 60% of production batches on few occasions in the past and recovered after them just fine. And so did companies in their supply chain. Actually, it is even more painful say for wafer suppliers: a few seconds electricity loss at a silicon smelter or growth vessel means 1 month revenue is lost. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jwebb/2016/02/29/the-taiwanese-earthquake-that-nearly-cancelled-the-apple-iphone-7/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/jwebb/2016/02/29/the-taiwanese-...
