None of these companies know how to build a fab. The most they could do is invest in TSMC building one as a Joint Venture.

- kristianp 1y agoYou're kind of agreeing with me. According to the article, at some point in the future a new fab will require a joint venture between a tech giant and a chipmaker.
- IAmBroom 1y agoIt's already the case. Even one step lower in the chain, ASML sells prototypes of their new photolitho chip makers to the big chip houses years before they develop them. The chip houses understand that the first releases will require ASML engineers to babysit the new tech, patching design issues as they become visible through use. That is a de facto joint venture.
