Comment on TSMC to make advanced 3nm chips in Japan

  We had global foundries, among a myriad of other fabs. We have unions and labour laws, that’s bad for margins and CEO pay, we lost bleeding edge nodes due to corporate greed and US intervention.

    GlobalFoundries is still in Dresden, but the smallest process they have there is 12nm. They’re just not at the forefront anymore and focus on other market segments.

      I know, that’s why I said bleeding edge nodes.

  Building the machines and running them are two different skillsets. Like building a race car vs driving one.

  TSMC is building in Europe too, specifically in Dresden, Germany, but it’s afaik a 20nm fab mostly for automotive chips.
