If you wanna make something that's competitive with the latest and greatest, sure. But there's literally thousands of fabs that can make _a_ CPU, and hundreds that can make something that is usable in a PC, even if not very fast. There's a huge span of semiconductor fabrication beyond the bleeding edge of digital logic.

One thing the above did have though was a mention that the high end would quickly be worth its weight in gold. The nvidia dgx b200 is already selling for half a million. The nearest non tsmc produced competitor doesn’t come close. Imagine no more supply!

    Depends if you just count the die or the rest of the rack. Processed silicon wafers will tend to beat that easily, but so does low-volume short-turnaround machined aluminium.
