Well, I guess enjoy using your 3rd world Intel GPUs. A shitty foundery is irrelevant.

- JustExAWS 1y agoIntel isn’t that far behind. But it is dumb to depend on fabs in a country that is just one Chinese missile away from getting destroyed.
- iszomer 1y agoAnd why would they when TSMC is in both China and the US in some fashion?
- raw_anon_1111 1y agoAnd Taiwan is forbidding TSMC from building their cutting edge fabs in the US… https://www.asiafinancial.com/taiwan-says-tsmc-not-allowed-to-make-2nm-chips-abroad-for-now https://www.asiafinancial.com/taiwan-says-tsmc-not-allowed-t... That may have changed since then. But do you really want to depend on a foreign government for chip manufacturing?
- iszomer 1y agoAs Taiwan should, it's their prerogative. People often think when global policy changes abruptly everything stops; in reality, the contrary is true: supply chains and demands shift. For what it's worth, its TSMC's expertise in semiconductor manufacturing that has been loaned to the US, not bought, settled, and forgotten.
- iamtedd 1y agoThat's most of the world, including the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction#Missile_ranges https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_and_weapons_of_mass_dest...
- raw_anon_1111 1y agoSo you don’t see the difference in the threat level of China bombing and invading Taiwan - which they already claim they own - and China attacking the US directly?
- iamtedd 1y agoI don't, because I'm not in the US. But my comment was in reply to the actual text of the grandparent, not some imagined subtext between the lines.
- raw_anon_1111 1y agoSo its just an imagined subtext that China that has been rabble rousing about taking over Taiwan is more likely to attack a tiny island nation right next to than attack the US?
