TSMC insider**, Biden can't hide his panic, foreign media: can't hide it.
In fact, this technological hegemony began before Huawei, four years before Huawei was cut off, the U.S. Department of Commerce asked Intel to cut off its supercomputer Xtreme chip.
However, the United States did not expect that China's supercomputer would also have a B plan at that time, so China's self-developed Shenwei architecture processor came out, and after being applied to supercomputing, it won the world's first supercomputer in one fell swoop, and then the United States began to use 5G to suppress Huawei, which was also a knife on the chip, but Huawei is also a spare tire chip.
When we saw that our R&D and wafer manufacturing capabilities were getting stronger and stronger, the United States began to extend the claws of hegemony to the first chain, such as prohibiting TSMC from providing foundry products to Huawei, and prohibiting ASML from providing us with **EUV lithography machines. At the same time, the United States is beginning to realize that it no longer has an absolute dominance in the integrated circuit industry.
After that, the United States began to launch a plan to reshape the integrated circuit industry, formulating a $280 billion plan"Integrated Circuits Act", which attaches special importance to the development of integrated circuit manufacturing technology, such as requiring TSMC to submit relevant data, and requiring TSMC to build a 5nm factory in the United States, and now requires the establishment of a 3nm factory, which makes TSMC's investment in the United States directly increase from $12 billion to $40 billion. TSMC's investment in the U.S. has increased directly from $12 billion to $40 billion.
However, wafer manufacturing is not only a technology-intensive, capital-intensive industry, but also a labor-intensive industry, the United States wafer manufacturing industry has shrunk from 40% of the world's share at its peak to 10%, shrinking by 75%, and the required labor force is seriously insufficient.
But these people are far from enough, so these TSMC employees who are sent to the United States, in addition to completing the manufacturing task, have another task, and that is to train American employees, in other words, TSMC"Interior"An amazing inside story has been revealed.
According to ** report, TSMC insiders have said: wafer manufacturing is not the most difficult technology, but personnel management, and the Americans do the worst, they do not do what they are asked to do, and they do not work hard to complete every task.
Is this result surprising?In fact, it is not surprising at all, Americans are Xi to ease, and TSMC's success is the hard work of TSMC employees"Liver"TSMC employees said that Americans would not work like this, and Americans would question whether there was a better way to manage and execute directly as required.
The construction of 5G networks requires a large number of engineers to install base stations, etc., but the United States also lacks a large number of talents in this area. About 130,000 skilled workers are needed to meet the needs of 5G construction in the United States, but there are only about 30,000 at present.
I have to say that Biden confidently signed the 280 billion chip bill, shouting that the chip ** chain should start from the United States, but for these Americans, he obviously can't do it, and TSMC's CFO has also exposed some other fierce information.
Previously, the cost of building a factory in the United States was expected to be 50% higher than in Taiwan, but TSMC's chief financial officer said that the cost would be at least 400% higher, while TSMC's ** chain company Taiwan Evergreen Petrochemical said that the cost of building a factory in the United States would be 10 times higher than in Taiwan, that is, 1,000%.
I have to say that this ferocious news will undoubtedly make Biden's lungs explode, coincidentally, some time ago, foreign media reported that the United States has launched a large order of 280 billion chips, and the help for the American chip industry can only help it grow by less than 1%, and the power of the administration will eventually lose to the market.
It can only be said that these cannot be hidden, because the United States cannot rely on hegemony for a long time, and the fig leaf will be torn sooner or later, so Matthias Squial's office will say that the US blockade is actually a blockade of itself. Do you agree with this point of view?If you agree, click on it"Great"。
