It’s very impressive that they got such a modern process up and running in such a relatively short period of time. I understand the Arizona location is relatively new.
Yeah, they’re essentially doing trials where Arizona fab provides small amounts of sillicon that’s being validated against what Taiwan fab does. While it was planned for 2024 I’m guessing everyone thought it would be delayed. It’s quite a big win for US, they’re on track to secure domestic supply of fairly modern chips in case shit hits the fan in Taiwan.
And they managed to do that with those lazy US workers? Wow.
E: folks, pls look up TSMC bosses’ statements on American workers’ ethic
Also, if interested, check out this documentary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Factory. Has a lot of interesting crosstalk between Chinese/American views on work and business.
Such a sad documentary, especially the self sabotage union votes.
I know. I was devastated when I first watched it, because I was so sure it was going to pass…
Thanks, Biden! And the American taxpayer!
Maybe, but Intel operates there so the labour pool is probably quite skilled already. Perhaps good supply chains too.
This is HORRIBLE! I’m a Patriotic Republican and don’t know why it’s Horrible Yet but Biden did it so it’s BAD!!
He did it to support the rich libtards! Not the poor working Republicans can no longer afford guns to stop the immigrants. And he hates Tiaywan !
/S
We shouldn’t be making water and energy intensive manufacturing in a hot desert.
more domestic production is great
Anybody know if this has anything to do with Biden’s Chips and Sciences program?
Yes. So far, the CHIPS Act has resulted in $6.6b in direct funding and an additional $5b in available loans for the AZ facility.
Cool. Thanks for the intel.
Where will they keep the child laborers?
I heard child labour was legal in the US again? Or is this not in Arizona?
That was Foxcon, not TSMC. And all of us have a LOT of shit in our homes made by Foxcon.
Not that it justifies the shit Foxcon did. Just saying that Apple got a lot of flack, even though a lot of other companies should be scrutinized for their manufacturing contractor choices. Microsoft, Sony, etc.
Do they have bombs in them?
US, not israel.
