Well, You can't just open fab and expect that there is thousands of idle engineers waiting to take any position... TSMC needs to provide adequate training/education or pay higher salaries to attract professionals from other sites. They will face same difficulties in Singapore or Thailand or...
3D stacked AMD processors have worse thermal characteristics than regular models. It must have even bigger impact on Intel's processors which have typically significantly higher TDP than AMD.
delong.height: Intel recently showed good application for that.

I am from EU so I am not sure what do You mean. :) Environment here is so strictly regulated that I don't even know whether any research or investments are possible outside corporations or universities.
US is still significantly more friendly for startups while offering some degree of IP...

But I guess, actual enforcement depend on their mood. Hisilicon likely just asked to comply with these regulations...
Somebody disassembled it. Vissible "CN" marking on package.
SOC is already unsoldered so sem images could follow. It should clear some details like 5/7nm, or architecture
Release timing seems suspicious/intentional. Spitting it to face of US visit. But also could mean "sanctions doesn't work...
I don't think it is even comparable. At least some areas of EE are closer to blue collar than IT. And I know few people which are deciding what they want to do and majority goes into blue collar.
Training time is in weeks instead of years so cost of choosing wrong career is much lower. No...
They created huge bubble. Price to income in Shanghai is 49.1. Worst cities in USA (New York and San Diego) are "only" 9.9. Houston is 2.4.
Worse is that lot of projects are "tofu dreg" and "rotten tail", so demand will not recover like it did in US...
There is difference between technology view and political view.
Why Huawei was banned? IP theft? Spying? These are serious issues but we still do have rule of law and things like these are extremally difficult to prove and justify actions... Specially whey You have much more reliable "tool"...
It is not that transparent and companies have other partners or even involved company itself can be founded purely for reason to participate on behalf of other companies...
But as a example: VIA did JV with Zhaoxin (IIRC Zhaoxin was created for this purpose), then there was some JV from AMD...
YMTC is asking suppliers to buy back equipment. How is SMIC not affected? Can SMIC share know-how or alternative supply chains with YMTC?

And can Huawei even design 5G SOC? IIRC older ones were just sub 6GHz...
Why did You hire consultant, which has no passion for what he is doing? :)
And sorry, i probably used wrong wording. But still, working in production is boring. I can understand passion in areas like that in engineering or r&d... But it might be just my ignorance.
996 led to "lay flat" and...
What is character of work on position they are looking for? Crunching numbers/statistics, observing process, making/consulting small changes? It is quite difficult to find passion in that.
If You have real passion for industry then You are probably working for any consulting company (or other...
Higher education produces more specialized graduates. Plus they have higher expectations. They keeps waiting for better opportunity instead of accepting lower level offer. So skill mismatch is much stronger in highly educated society.
Welfare is more complicated and I don't know whether it...
...assuming that labor intensive industries won't leave...
So unemployment might be actually long term. Just like in EU.
Overeducation might be also similar to EU.
