The future of the global economy rests on one tiny island a short distance off the coast of mainland China .......

A horrific situation.........


Hurry up Intel....get those foundries built ...........but .............it may be too late.....

TSMC have subsidiaries and investment outside Taiwan.

And, on the contrary, Taiwan remain a world contributor because China cannot do anything against them because this will disrupt the world supply chain for semiconductors.

As for Intel, they don't even use their own fabs for their own products... way to go...

TSMC is a juggernaut for sure but I feel like adding Nvidia to the header is a little odd. They are not in the chip making business the same way Intel, Samsung, and TSMC are. They are a fabless chip maker so seems a little odd.

The Golden/Silicon Goose that is TSMC sits in Taiwan.

It CANNOT be moved, it WILL NOT be moved.

Time for the US' mighty military to do their job as "World Police" and protect Taiwan.

Silicon is worth more than Oil & Gold combined, it has more importance and will determine the future of the Western Economy.

I love Taiwan but the U.S. and Europe never should have let TSMC rise to this status. Do you think China would let Cuba maintain so much of its IP?

You don't get to decide, Taiwan worked for it's #1 SemiConductor Manufacturing player spot; they weren't always #1, they had to scratch / claw for it.

Doesn't TSMC reserve their most advanced processes like 3 and 5nm for Taiwan only? Who knows if/when that AZ fab will ever come online.

I’m not deciding, I’m being an armchair quarterback like everyone else.

TSMC's primary business hasn't seen the same type of downturn as the other two and the AI boom positively impacts them a lot more so this isn't particularly surprising news.

Taiwan itself literally made it happen while every other world government stood by and changed nothing about how they supported fabrication. TSMC is a fantastic company and its current success is due to good business decisions and great engineers, but one cannot pretend that they were some sort of plucky upstart.

So far yes all of their leading edge fabs are in Taiwan and they've backed away from plans to expand that.

Enjoy the view while it lasts. Tis a fleeting spot.
