News TSMC to Build Specialty Fab in Japan to Address Local Demand

TSMC is the real winner during the chip shortage. How many different governments have they convinced to give them wheelbarrows full of cash now to fund their own expansion?
 
This "help" to the supply issue is still 2 -3 years in the future and offers nothing short term.
Also not knowing what shape the world economy may be in that far out affecting the overall chip demand plus with Intel and Samsung increasing capacity and building new fab plants as well the extra specialized production of this plant may actually have a very small effect on overall world chip supplies in late 2023 through sometime in 2024.
