Does it being "designed in California" but "made in Taiwan" really make a difference? If Taiwan was to be invaded and TSMC follows through with their threat of destroying all of the fabs, Apple's home-woven basket wouldn't be worth much at all
- seszett 1y agoIf the US or the Netherlands were being invaded that world also wreak havoc, but how is that related to the links between China and Intel's CEO?
- dylan604 1y agoInvading the US or Netherlands would not impact chip production. How are you not able to grasp that?
- nerdsniper 1y agoBesides missing the point, this is a bad argument. ASML manufactures the machines that TSMC uses to produce chips - they have an even more critical and irreplaceable role in chip production than Taiwan does. ASML is headquartered in Veldhoven, NL. That would absolutely affect chip production - no new nodes, no replacement parts. There are other critical technologies for semiconductor manufacturing made in USA as well.
