- jay_kyburz 1y agoerr.. its not crazy after a few years of recession, or even pressure on the workforce from AI.
- acchow 1y agoUSA workers will not accept Taiwan salaries. Numbeo shows the cost of living (including rent) is 45% higher in Phoenix than in Hsinchu (where TSMC's 2N is) Rent is 176% higher.
- frollogaston 1y agoGiven this, I'm surprised they're only looking at a 5%-20% cost increase.
- SecretDreams 1y agoIt just gives a hint of how much salaries play into opex for TSMC: not a lot, apparently.
