How Texas Became The American Chipmaking Hub

The CHIPS Act is Socialism! Just keep that in mind the next time you want to bash Socialism.

Over production will change the economic returns on chip industry. Countries with higher production costs are likely to produce at loss making level that might require currency reevaluation.

An issue is that Texas has too much wind power to have a reliable grid. As wind can unexpectedly go from 30% of the total to 5% totally weather dependent.

This CNBC reporter (Katie Tarasov?) has churned out top notch video updates on the semiconductor industry (history, the major players, and suppliers). Keep it up, and well done!

Cool the U.S. is starting to make chips here in the states, the unfortunate side is the cost of chips made in the U.S. are typically 3 times higher.

what is mean by 'fab'???

Sensacional

Muito sensacional ❤

Que estrutura maravilhosa imagina o quanto de investimento

É bom

What the USA wanted was TSMC's high end chip manufacturing expertise shifting from Taiwan to Arizona. The second motive was decimating the competition of TSMC, Samsung and other foreign chip manufacturers, so that the USA will reign supreme. The USA forgot about China, Huawei and SMIC, thinking Chips Alliance will take care of that. Arrogance is not a good thing.

The promised subsidy of US$15 billion dangled in front of TSMC by Joe Biden came with stiff conditions, including passing over sensitive technical details, customer information and the sharing of profits with the USA Government, an unheard of thing. Imagine having to share profits on top of paying taxes on the residual profits, TSMC might as well give up the factory. But, fret not, because TSMC reaped what they sow.

TSMC subsequently decided not to apply for the subsidy, putting paid to the trap set by the USA. High tech information that the USA was hoping to snarl from TSMC failed to materialise. By the way, the USA had all the years been accusing China of stealing tech under deals and agreements signed with USA companies, so what do we call those deals they had with TSMC? It takes a thief to catch a thief.

Quoting Patrick Star from SpongeBob. "What's so great about dumb ol' Texas?"

Frito-Lay is based in Plano, TX. I never heard of these other guys, but I welcome all the different flavors.

I thought it said chipmunk instead of chipmaking

America needs to reduce the taxs on this companies and invest in Technology, not always trying to contain China

I mean good for America but it makes me sad seeing talent from Indian origin developing and working on bleeding edge technology outside India… Brain drain is the biggest threat there is

Good job Texas ❤

The construction of the TSMC fab in Arizona is not going well.

California is slowly dying!
The fall of empires doesn’t just happen it happens slowly

Lol its funny this isn't even true since Arizona is the actual semiconductor hub😅 Intel, TSMC..

Thumbs up for low regulation states attracting advanced chip foundries. That's said, TSMC & Samsung foundries in the US will not be producing the cutting edge chips (sub 7mm). Production of such chips is jealously guarded in Taiwan and Korea. Intel, a shadow of it's old self, stumbled after years on the 7mm chip and still cannot manufacture it. It is baffling that the semiconductor technology, invented and perfected in this country (including foundries), is now dominated by 2 countries that used our help and markets to get started.

Don't worry guys, Texas will turn blue soon, then all this "common sense" nonsense can go away.

What about the water?
We have Water Board
What about the power?
We have new laws;
That's reassuring

great reporting. as a texas native this is great for our economy. texas is quickly becoming a tech power house no longer just an energy power house.

*natural

natral gas??,,he means fossil gas?

What the F is a fab?

WE SO NOT NEED CHINA PEOPLE,WE,CAN HAVE AMERICAN MADE AND GUESS WHAT,BETTER MADE'!!!, AMERICA NEEDS TO BRING ALL,OUR BUSINESSES BACK AND STOP SUPORTING COMMUNISM,NO MORE IMPORTING,WE DONT NEED IMPORTS,STOP SUPPORTING OTHER COUNTRIES AND SUPPORT AMERICA,AMERICA FIRST PEOPLE!!!! No more COMMUNISTMMADE!!,

Texas is better because we keep liberal fruitcakes in CA. TRUE FACT: California used to be Republican, until the fruitcakes fuxk it up.

just wait and see how this growth is going to cost every single home owner in those towns with property taxes going sky high.... for you folks that plan on working at the Sherman plant you have a great opportunity because Sherman is on the Oklahoma border... the property taxes there are super cheap... you can buy a very nice lake side home on lake Texoma for cheap and the drive isn't that bad and you will like the weekends while enjoying the lake...

This is the American Industrial Renaissance.... Long Live the Republic.

🧡🧡🧡

Don't mess with TEXAS! And Keep those liberal woke ideologies out of this great State!

Cedar fever chips

So now texas gets rich while Texans become poor.

Thank you Biden.

When i retire from the Army im staying in Texas it has been good living here

When China decides to move in on Taiwan, the rest of the 'free world' will be reliant on all the chips made in Texas!
So every investment done now, will pay back multible times in the future, since both production and the machinery/tech behind this production, will equally raise in both investment price and in final chip sales price, as a consequence of the continuous growing worldwide demand!

But wait we're in a recession....

21-7-2023 TSMC's 4nm mass production in the US will be delayed until 2025
A huge setback to American chip dream

Because living in California 🤮

All this under Biden, nice 👍

AT BEST, THEY WILL BE GOOD AS KFC FRIEDCHIPS. YOUR SENILE FART SCREWED UP BIG TIME.

That xfab is in Lubbock Texas idk why they didn’t just say it she said north Texas lol come on man

For chip manufacturing.
A high level of discipline is the key, and most Americans today don't possess it.
They call it “forced labour"

Watching this from Colombia, Texas by itself is becoming a global powerhouse; brutal stuff; to my knowledge many companies are moving from California tired of their taxes and wokeist doctrine

I wonder what they do with all the toxic waste produced by making these chips? Lol.
