> I anyways hear about how the entire semiconductor industry is completely dependent on TSMC I don't think it's as strong dependance as many commenters assume here. Samsung is 2 years behind TSMC and intel 3-4 years behind in terms of fab capability. While losing 2 years of progress is not great, it's definitely nothing like world can't function without TSMC. Obviously they need few years to ramp up but I assume it's not like Taiwan geopolitics situation would change in a day.
