“To fulfill Apple’s first order [in 2013], TSMC spent $9 billion, with 6,000 people working around the clock to build a fab in Taiwan in a record 11 months.”

In the span of just a few years, Taiwan's TSMC has became overwhelmingly dominant in its industry—an industry that happens to be one of the world's most critical. A deep-dive on how it happened, and what it all means.@yoyominnie @StephanieAYang @asafitchhttps://t.co/aPFPKByDu5

Taiwanese chip maker TSMC is the clear leader is chip manufacturing, making it one of the world’s most important firms. But its location off the Chinese coast makes it one of the most vulnerable too. By YangJie. @StephanieAYang @asafitch https://t.co/6GsxURwqUT

92% of the world's most sophisticated microprocessors, 60% of the less sophisticated automotive microcontrollers & yet, a market cap of 'only' ~$600B.
Shouldn't $TSM be worth more?

When TSMC was founded, semiconductor titans like Intel and AMD took pride in making their own chips. “Real men have fabs,” AMD's founder declared. Now, AMD has sold off its fabs and is one of TSMC’s biggest customers.@yoyominnie @StephanieAYang @asafitch https://t.co/aPFPKBh2Cx

"Its technology is so advanced [...] that it now makes around 92% of the world’s most sophisticated chips, [...]. Samsung Electronics Co. makes the rest."

Only two fabs make the majority of some types of chips? That's not good. https://t.co/NlHLB0NAus
