Trump to impose 25% to 100% tariffs on Taiwan-made chips, impacting TSMC
-
Look at Henry Kissinger. If left to nature, Trump will live to be 120.
-
Also, half of the gains in recent years have been in energy efficiency, not just speed.
So if the idea is to do more with less, you don’t wanna rely on old power-hungry designs.

Sure, "low end" wasn't a perfectly scientifically accurate way to describe it. I apologize for my terrible lack of academic rigor.
The point is that they're not going to let their highest end processes be replicated outside of Taiwan. Or, rather, the Taiwanese government is not going to let that happen, because fear of losing access to that technology is their one bargaining chip with the West. Without that, they cease to exist as a country. There just isn't enough incentive for anyone to risk a war with China otherwise.

Totally agree that it’s a sound strategy to keep their latest and greatest on home soil.
At the same time they are starting to implement tooling for important parts of clients designs likeCore chiplets for Ryzen

Also, because these investments are long-term when the tariffs are likely to only be short term.

I truly believe these are his way of soliciting bribes from foreign and domestic businesses.
They're going to have to pay him to get around them.

I've been looking at doing a new pc build but wanted to wait for the new GPUs coming out. Looks like I should just my new build before prices are stupid.

Or at least buy the GPU now.

Trump is a chinese puppet apparently

So where is the US going to get its chips from then tax TMSC makes over 90% of chips?
-

No choice except the obvious: Pass the cost of the Tax into the customer because there’s no way they’re going to spend billions to stand up a US fab plant anytime soon.
TSMC is standing up fabs in the US, mostly because we're bribing them to do so.
The problem is that it takes literal years to build high tech manufacturing and isn't something you can yank out of your ass to satisfy some idiot politician.
