If I get your point, the question would why have TSMC make these low end cheaper chip in Japan when they abund on the market ?
The whole effort of bringing TSMC factories to Japan was triggered by the shortage a few years ago, when I think a Toyota factories had to slow down as they couldn't get enough chips to meet the production goals.
They'll probably rely on TSMC to make the deal work even if external competitors offer better prices or availability in the short term.
- obmelvin 3y agoIsn't this about 6 and 7mm nodes? Aren't those still pretty good nodes with lower costs than the cutting edge (3nm and lower)?
- makeitdouble 3y agoIt's planned to produce from 40nm down to 6~7nm. Now, the 6~7nm might end as an empty promise, if TSMC wants to keep more advantage at home.
