Taiwanese chip giant TSMC is opening a significant chip production capacity in the United States in the next few years, but product development is not planned.
At least for the time being, the United States is not becoming a chief of chip development. Andrew Leyden
TSMC will open a significant opening capacity in the United States in the coming years Financial Times in an interview.
“If there is no product development in the country, the leadership of the chip market is not in the United States,” Gelsinger says.
TSMC has stated that it will invest $ 100 billion in chip production in the United States. The purpose is first and foremost to save US customers Donald Trump from the giant duties.
However, TSMC’s product development is now, at least in the coming years, in Taiwan, a chip giant’s home country. The company has not stated that it will do product development in any other technology concentration on which it has founded or founded its own factories.
Thus, in the United States and elsewhere, only the chips of the latest technology are manufactured, not designing them. According to Gelsinger, the United States threatens to become only a useful place to make the chip industry.
Gelsinger himself was fired from Intel last year. His last big project was about a $ 100 billion fragmentation project, which sought to open up the production of the latest technology microchip in Europe, the United States and the Middle East.
The project has not progressed as desired, and even the first high-performance chips manufactured by the company in the United States are believed to end up in customers until the 2030s.
