Economist Urges China to Seize TSMC If US Ramps Up Sanctions
- mikece 4y agoIn addition to Apple's A-series and M-series chips, isn't TSMC the only company shipping 5nm and on pace to be the first to ship 3nm chips? And they provide chips to a lot more than just Apple... I'm thinking if this came to pass we it would be the start of a far more profound chip shortage that would make the previous one look like a minor inconvenience.
- gsatic 4y agoidk man...if Apple stops producing phones tomorrow morning I can't see it effecting anyone too much. Apple shareholders don't count.
- ampgt 4y agoTell that to your 401k
- throwaway743 4y agoPretty sure they supply to Lockheed as well. Wonder how they'd react to such a move.
- halJordan 4y agoSamsung and Intel have shipping 5nm equivalents
- jschveibinz 4y agoHow naive to think that Taiwan (or the US) wouldn’t “disable” those facilities if threatened with invasion.
- LorenPechtel 4y agoWhy would a Taiwanese company build a plant in China??
- halJordan 4y agoFoxconn is a taiwanese company that builds factories in China. I think generally the answer is cheap labor and supply chain coalescence.
- NicoJuicy 4y agoNot sure what he thinks. The machines that makes those chips isn't produced in Taiwan. Disable, done. I would think.
