re: “Then there will be a chip shortage beyond anything imaginable.”
Don’t worry. Abu Dhabi has big investments in store for some existing plants here in the US even ...
That, and China may be dependent on chips from TMSC too.
Global Foundries, who has Abu Dhabi investment, has plants in the US, but their process technology is FAR behind TSMC.
GF is stuck at 12nm. TSMC is doing production at 5 nm.
