Right, don't underestimate Samsung - they have top tier fabs and manufacture a lot of chips. If the world has all their eggs in the basket of one company that company is ASML.
- T-A 6y agoRight, so our eggs are not all in one basket, but in two. One claimed as rebel territory by the CCP and one still technically at war with a nuclear-armed hermit kingdom.
- dodobirdlord 6y agoFortunately ASML is in the Netherlands.
- T-A 6y agoI was obviously referring to Samsung. As for ASML, if it were the key to Intel's woes, the article we are all commenting would not have been written.

- T-A 6y agoAt risk of entering Rube Goldberg territory, I suppose we could speak of two baskets hanging by a common thread.
- m4rtink 6y agoSo possibly a couple meters under even current sea level ? ;-) (Continuing the sky-is-falling theme. :) )
- sundarurfriend 6y ago> one still technically at war with a nuclear-armed hermit kingdom. If we're going down that route, every country in the world can be described in an equally alarmist manner.
- octoberfranklin 6y agoYeah but most of them are more than 300 miles from Xi Jinping.
- pm90 6y agoThis is an absurd amount of reductionism. The chances of actual military conflict in both the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan are objectively much higher than most other places around the world. Having both of the top tier semiconductor manufacturers reside in such a hotspot is absolutely a cause for concern.
