My point is that we really don't know what "plausible" is anymore with these storms. That much is clear in the data. It seems silly to be so close to a flood zone with your very expensive DUV/EUV machines. There are probably other places they could have placed this facility.
- justsid 8mo agoThey are not fabbing the chips there, just assembling the machines.
- ijustlovemath 8mo agoThe price of the carried inventory is still significant; the scale they mention reaching towards is thousands per day. That's not including the backlog of components they would have onsite to ensure production uptime.
- justsid 8mo agoAbsolutely, but they are not losing a billion+ in EUV machines with year+ lead times in a flood. It'll hurt for sure though and doesn't appear to be the smartest overall move.
- _heimdall 8mo agoI don't think we can both consider FEMA's 1% flood risks and also assume no longer know what plausible is with these storms.
- ijustlovemath 8mo agoI think it's safe to assume given recent storms that the 1% floodplains are _underestimating_ the risk
- _heimdall 7mo agoIt sounds like you know what is plausible then though. Its plausible that 1% is and underestimate and implausible that its an overestimate.
