That's means they are going to attack.
Business is not warfare, but both need strategy.
Trying to fake out your competitors, is standard stuff.
Then when you surprise them, you got'em on the run.

No. This is a very naive and wrong perspective. The West is defined by its unique racio-cultural-ideological setup. It is as enduring as any other. The collective power of this entity called the "west" is still overwhelming.
A multipolar world is definitely possible. Not a unipolar China centric world.
I thought I read here(likely) that 28nm had started production already at SMIC and 14nm was being worked on. If what you said is true then I'd readily peg China's progress even lower.
No, I'm not talking about non-localized fab line. But you are right that I often find the mix-up being a good cause for all the confusion.
@tokenanalyst bro I'm intrigue if its okay for you to PM me the info or share it with us here. Thanks
The 28nm, 14nm, and 7nm processes use the same machines.
TSMC is now an "unreliable entity" in those nodes.

That's what I thought.
Multi-patterning may require an additional precision or two on the machine but if what is being claimed that the machine is also capable (i.e. does have that additional precision) of doing multi-patterning for 14 nm is true, then the jump from 28 nm to 14 nm would be almost a given and relatively much easier and within a much shorter timeframe than the beginning work on building the 28nm process.

Unless the capital costs of EUV drop dramatically relative to DUV, the coming EUV glut will simply cannibalize itself. EUV fixed costs already approach 50% of final product costs when fab capacity utilization is 80%+ and this high utilization requirement increases the closer to the leading edge we go. In other words, once global EUV capacity goes into overdrive, sometime after 2023, EUV capacity utilization will plunge and virtually every EUV fab will be losing money. If EUV fabs start competing on price, it will only magnify the problem. The chance that EUV can displace DUV market share is also "extremely" unlikely because of the inherent fixed cost and design cost advantages that >=7nm DUV process nodes have. When you factor in the coming of 3D chiplet proliferation, we're looking at an absolute catastrophe. It is more likely that DUV starts eating into the market share of EUV processes like 7, 5 and 3nm. This is like a baby deer in the headlights of an approaching freight train.
Thank you Ron Vara! If it wasn't for racist anti-China supremacists like this, China would continue following the globalist comparative advantage economic theory that keeps Anglo-American "allies" perpetual vassals.
