The planet burned, but at least we made a few chips in America.
- fooblaster 2y agoyou can fly a few hundred million dollars worth of chips in a single flight. You need not be concerned. The impact from temu shipments is several orders of magnitude higher.
- fooblaster 2y agoe.g. you can get 572 a15 dies per 300mm wafer at 90% yield. These likely weigh a few hundred grams. By my rough calculations a million iPhones of a15s is about 200kg of silicon. excluding packaging, which would dwarf this mass entirely.
