Rapidus will 100% fail in my opinion. They have neither the scale, experience, nor technology to operate a successful business at the leading edge. It’s an absurd venture in all manners
Biggest reason is the ROC military is rife with CCP sympathizers. It would be a disaster and an major coup for China to get a hold of so many sensitive documents
Doesn’t make any sense for TSMC to ally with a rival that has stated it hopes to surpass them. They are also already in partnership with SK Hynix who has the tech lead.
Boils down to “Biden bad” for these guys. They don’t have any policy positions. If the Democrats passed something they want it repealed. That’s as far as they think
My point exactly. All of samsung and sk skynix's fabs are in artillery range of a batsh*t insane country that is open about wanting to destroy it. And has nukes. The israel point is good too. Israel is actively underfire. It's a poor argument against taiwan for people to use IMO
New desktop products from intel were a performance disaster from benchmarks I've seen. Big increase in power efficiency but REGRESSION in performance. Haven't seen that since AMD bulldozer days
