Comment on China tensions underline US investment in TSMC
quicksand@lemm.ee 7 months agoGetting a fab up and running is an incredibly time and capital intensive ideal. And the hardware they use, known as ‘tools’, are not designed to sit in some dusty warehouse in the meantime. Even if it was feasible to move them all out at once. Like this is sensitive equipment and there’s tons of it. There’s no way they’re moving entire fabs out. The money lost in downtime alone would be astronomical.

The money lost by losing the fabs by blowing them up during an invasion would also be astronomical. Surely a controlled move would be less expensive.
