Making chips in Taiwan is just so economical.
- cm2187 4y agoCurious about why. It’s not a particularly cheap country.
- mikymoothrowa 4y agoSemiconductor manufacturing is a highly specialised process. It doesn’t rely on the labor being cheap. Until recently, a good chunk of CPUs were Intel and were made in the US. The Chinese SMIC and Samsung were also making a good deal of CPUs. It’s just that only TMSC has the tech to make the higher end 5nm chips these days.
