You don’t seem to understand the proportion of chips that Taiwan makes for the world these days.
In terms of replacement capacity… there’s not any. You don’t simply flip a switch and start producing other chips on your fab line, let alone scale shit out 5-10x like that on the drop of a hat. It’s not 3D printing. If Taiwan is invaded and they’re forced to destroy their chip industry, there will be an enormous supply shortfall for several YEARS at least, even in the best possible case.
Would definitely hurt Wintel though.
I know the Taiwanese semiconductor chip market and I also understand the capacity/volume of share in the global supply chain. You're the one ignorant of the political game behind it. You're only spotlighting one factor (economic downfall) of what the US government wants you to see. seeding narrative of fear. while disregarding everything else. because it doesn't fit your narrative. My point is The world doesn't end with semiconductor chips or technology. It merely plays a part in the human ingenuity. USA is already working on expanding its fabs. triple the current size in the next 10 years. DO you still think the economy is crashing, the world is ending? Don't imagine stuff like you're living in a fallout. Human beings have survived 1000s of years. Will survive 1000s more. So try to see a bigger picture. US government is trying to make an opportunity out of Taiwan, selling weapons to everyone. later when Taiwan become a ruin. US government will come to rob the graves of Taiwan for whatever left of it. Like it did to Germany and Japan at the end of WW2.
I feel like you’re not reading what I wrote. Maybe making it bigger will help:
What you’re saying indicates that you don’t understand the extremely nuanced and industry specific constraints around integrated circuit manufacturing at scale.
The fact that you’re sticking to your guns so hard here tells me that you’re deep into Dunning-Kruger territory.
my bad! I must have missed the fine print on the PhD in integrated circuit manufacturing. Thanks for the tip, I’ll be sure to bring my magnifying glass next time.
Certainly not a PhD in reading comprehension.
