TSMC's $65 billion Arizona facility can now match Taiwan production yields according to early trials

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has reached a significant milestone in its expansion into the US. Recent trial production at the company’s new Arizona facility has yielded results comparable to those of its established plants in Taiwan, according to Bloomberg, which cited a person familiar with the company who requested anonymity. This development is a positive sign for the chipmaker’s ambitious US project, which has faced delays and doubts about whether it could match the production efficiency of its Taiwanese operations.

That’s good maybe tsmc will figure out you don’t need to treat your employees like slaves to get good results

That would be in a world better than this one. Unions and a strong government that serves its people is how things like that are accomplished. Big businesses in an unregulated capitalist system will always choose profit over people.

Why is anyone building critical infrastructure in Arizona?

Cheap land and tax incentives to do so.

I thought making these things requires a shitton of water. Arizona has a pretty dry climate last I checked.

As I recall that was a significant concern early on. And part of the deal was that they recycle their water, and keep the fresh water consumption below a certain level.

That way they don’t have to deprive the farmers growing water hungry crops in the desert with 80% of the local water supply.

Low taxes brought to you by a severely underfunded school system and absolute zero protections for climate or workers.

The fact that it needs to come from a “familiar with the company” anonymous source instead of the official source gives me pause in believing this 100%. Plants like this have been known to game the system for tax purposes while not actually making anything. And like everything, time for me to find the appropriate The Dollop episode.

Didn’t know they were starting with 4nm chips, that’s pretty impressive. I thought TSMC was keeping a more significant edge for their Taiwan fabs, but they’re only making 3nm.
