@gelgoog bro IF ever TSMC and Samsung solve the yield problem of their 3nm project, will these be the last? what I meant is with the cost associated with shrinking the node further down to 2nm or 1nm and the harvesting of their research by the US. Will they be motivated to do more especially IF China is able to have a breakthrough and her company was sanction to help US company compete?
That harvesting is just colonialism, which the targets are happy to oblige, at least their government is more than willing to allow that harvesting.
It is out in the open now. Reports are suggesting that 3500 engineers need to be poached in the future to sustain the new fabs in America.
Then President Trump will return, to oversee this poaching.
Damn. What a world!
Haha! Haha!
