If you build it, Nvidia will come...

Because Samsung did the one Cardinal sin that you weren't supposed to do in Fab manufacturing, Competing against your own customers. If Samsung didn't create Exynos to compete with their customers like Qualcomm or ARM and even intel, They wouldn't have this issue to begin with.

Great example of the general CHAOS that reigns at Samsung 🤷🏻‍♂️.

LOL. A $44B sinkhole. And because it was built in Texas they would have received positively massive incentives to build there.

Samsung said nothing about why, nor comment on a lack of persons to sell to. Pure conjucture as TSMC is "sold out" until 2027! That means, there is a market, that means all chip companies work together otherwise the would take the #1 helm with a 2nm node ASAP instead of waiting, yes, if it wasn't for the 6 billion from the US Government they would delay delay delay, why? Because I believe that product manufacturers want a lack of chips to raise prices, AMD, Nvidia, Intel, etc. all the chip manufacturers want a lack of chips at least for a while because it increases value but push that edge for too long and people start to investigate, they are very careful how they go about scamming the people.
