Chapter 972 TSMC

With the excited expression on Cuco's face, those who didn't know it thought Pingguo could make cutting-edge chips by himself.

The CEOs of AMD and Nvidia also said that their companies will also gradually purchase chips from TSMC’s Arizona factory.

The direct reason why these corporate executives praise TSMC's new factory so much is that their companies must rely on TSMC's cutting-edge chips to make products.

In today's Blue Star, Daxia's Jiuzhou Technology and Xia Xin Technology are the first in silicon-based semiconductors and carbon-based semiconductors, followed by TSMC, and then Korean Star.

There is a huge gap between each of the three rankings.

Just in the field of silicon-based chips, the technology provided by Jiuzhou Technology allows these engineers to learn and use extremely intelligent nanny-level industrial software to produce it. It will take a long time to learn a small project and use extremely exaggerated capabilities. In terms of power consumption, computing power, and stability, it is several positions ahead of the second place.

TSMC was crazily cultivated by the United States, providing the best equipment, engineering teams, and talent lists, and trying its best to maintain the 60% share it had in its heyday.

As for Han Xing Semiconductor, after several twists and turns, rectification and asset restructuring, it finally solved some patent and technology licensing issues. However, after several years of delays, it has completely fallen behind the cutting-edge technology. It is currently relying on Kyushu technology to support it.

Of course, the worst high-end share among the three is greater than the high-end share of the other companies after the fourth combined.

Because other companies want to develop high-end products, but they don’t have the ability to do so.

If it is about building factories and attracting Western talents, TSMC’s strategy of building high-end semiconductor factories in foreign countries is correct.

But TSMC said at the event in Shanghai that the two Arizona wafer fabs have created 8,000 high-paying high-tech jobs, including 3,500 jobs directly employed by TSMC. And it is expected to continue to create 10,000 high-paying high-tech jobs.

The cutting-edge technology of the future will be brought to the United States, and the cutting-edge equipment and talents from the local Ryukyu factories are also being deployed to the local factories in the United States step by step.

TSMC has actually become "US Semiconductor".

There was also an uproar on Ryukyu Island.

A well-known publication in Ryukyu Island pointed out: "Two years ago, TSMC announced its plan to build factories in foreign countries, and some local people were worried that the United States would hollow out TSMC and eventually become 'American Semiconductor.'

Officials from the Ryukyu authorities vowed ‘no’ and once assured that the most advanced 3-nanometer process would remain in Ryukyu.

However, according to Zhang Wumou's speech, TSMC's Arizona plant has successfully built a 4-nanometer process production line and has begun planning for 3-nanometer and 2-nanometer process production lines.

It is obvious that TSMC's core R&D group has left its local headquarters in Ryukyu. TSMC's headquarters has become an administrative headquarters focusing on planning and business, and the real technology headquarters has moved to the United States.

This is a betrayal! Shameful betrayal!

Even if it is a business behavior, it is also a kind of betrayal! Betrayed us Ryukyu, betrayed Daxia! "

TSMC has always been a pillar company in Ryukyu, but while it leads the world in technology, it has always relied heavily on various cutting-edge equipment from major American research institutes and Dutch lithography companies, as well as senior semiconductor engineers trained by major Western universities.

When these media reports were pushed out, the people on Ryukyu Island collapsed after seeing the news. They shouted: "The doors are gone, the doors have been demolished in Arizona."

"Our general has become an enemy!"

"Building one more wafer fab in the United States means building one less wafer fab in Ryukyu."

"It's probably "Mess Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.".

"Zhang Wumou! You are a traitor! You are really shameless! Treacherous! Motorcycle!"

"Come on, you're just a motorcycle guy. You're obviously very calculating, but you're just Wuzhong, Zhang Wuzhong, that's all."

From being the number one semiconductor chip foundry company in the past, people in Ryukyu had to stand tall when mentioning TSMC. Overnight, the city wall changed into a royal flag and became US Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Local public opinion in Ryukyu was raging, and people in other places in Daxia were Netizens were also surprised.

"At the beginning, it could be said that it was due to technology and patent licensing reasons. Some high-end processes cannot be used by companies in our country, but now it is obvious? Mader, what the Ryukyu people said is right, Zhang Wumou is Zhang Wuzhong! Damn it! What bad luck!"

“I’d also like to see who TSMC’s four-nanometer process products are sold to?

Is it selling Uncle Sam? Or are companies like Pingguo really relying on TSMC's new processes to produce products that are better than the "old stuff" from Kyushu Technology such as Titan processors. "!

"We are now also a major exporter of semiconductor materials. Why don't we also learn from Uncle Sam's gadfly tactics? From now on, our companies will be prohibited from selling all semiconductor materials used by TSMC to produce semiconductor chips to them!"

"Don't be embarrassed here. Uncle Sam is a gadfly and has a habit of being a bandit. We are not gadfly bandits. Moreover, our companies in Daxia make money by signing orders, and we also make money to seek development.

If the contract is suddenly interrupted or delivery is delayed, it will be our company that suffers the loss. And if we really do this, our company will definitely lose a lot of overseas customers, which is really not worth the gain. "

"I have guessed this result a long time ago. TSMC's major shareholder is American capital, its chairman is American, and it was listed in the United States. The high-end equipment used by the entire company is also equipment from American-funded companies. Even middle- and senior-level engineers have Many of them are Western scientific and technological talents.”

"I personally have decided not to buy products equipped with chips produced by TSMC. Pingguo mobile phones, NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards are all blacklisted!

By the way, my old antique Titan processor can still be used. Although recently there have been more things installed in the Lingjing ecology, it runs a little laggy, but the flaws are not hidden, lol, the fan is not running. "

"This is indeed not a simple matter of investing in and building a factory in the United States. Even if TSMC does not change its name to US Semiconductor in the future, Uncle Sam will eat up TSMC step by step and become a local semiconductor company in the United States.

The people from Daxia and Ryukyu who go there are basically senior engineers and skilled workers, and it is estimated that they will also be arranged to become American citizens in the future. "

"Talking about morality with capitalists? That's the stupidest thing. Don't look at how much money Uncle Sam and the Wall Street capital plutocrats have invested in TSMC. Those tens of billions are not from TSMC alone. Uncle Sam's subsidies and other technology investments, Those are sky-high prices.

Normally, no one would be able to refuse, unless that person is a red warrior with great perseverance! "
