The GeForce RTX 5090, a new flagship "Blackwell" GPU for gamers, creators, and developers that NVIDIA will be launching this week to deliver what it says is a new world of AI computer graphics for $1,

Today, most of the world's semiconductor manufacturing comes from TSMC, which has spent years expanding its operations in Taiwan as a hedge against Chinese aggression. The world needs TSMC, which helps to keep the CCP's "one China" rhetoric just that—rhetoric.

No wonder OpenAI needs $500B for Stargate Americans could soon see the price of electronics skyrocket in response to a 25-100 percent tariff on computer chips promised by US President Donald Trump on Monday.

TSMC manufactures more than 90% of the world’s most advanced logic chips, making it the world leader in semiconductor manufacturing. Back in 2020, it announced the creation of TSMC Arizona and an initial $12 billion commitment to building its first U.S.-located advanced fabrication plant in Phoenix.

The Trump tariffs could financially hit Apple's chip production partnership with TSMC, after the President insisted the import taxes will be applied to semiconductors and other specific industries in the near future.

As TSMC's Arizona semiconductor fab prepares to begin mass production, the local semiconductor supply chain continues to strengthen. Industry experts suggest that if Trump promotes semiconductor production in the US through measures like increased tariffs,

TSMC's new U.S. plant is unlikely to get the most advanced chip technology before factories in Taiwan due to complex compliance issues, local construction regulations and various permitting requirements,

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing confirmed it started commercial production at its Phoenix complex during fourth quarter when profits surged 57%.

Major tech firms may have to remain dependent on Taiwan-based plants, increasing their exposure to geopolitical risks.

TSMC's Arizona Fab 21 began 4nm chip mass production in Q4 2024. Costs are higher than in Taiwan; 2nm production starts in 2025, with 3nm expansion ongoing.

TSMC has been promised $6.6 billion under the Biden-administration’s CHIPS and Science ACT to help build three cutting-edge chip fabrication plants in Arizona.

Y.L. Wang, VP of fab operations at TSMC, will be elevated to senior VP for his efforts in resolving challenges at the foundry's advanced fab location in Arizona, US, according to sources familiar with the matter.
