What was surprising to me when I looked into it is the power usage of EUV lithography. The machine takes about 1 megawatt of input for about 200 watts of euv light! Not the most efficient, I always knew it was complicated making modern chips I didn’t realize it was so power hungry I believe TSMC is around 10% of Taiwans power usage. Power efficient chips require huge amounts of power to make.
