Unless they will do something stupid like damaging their 13th and 14th generation of processors by usage and then going great lengths to deny it, until finally being forced to fix it.

I hear the frustration. I have an intel 13th, and I hope it lasts long enough.

Isn't TSMC Arizona and Japan the hedge for such geopolitical changes?

Their best engineers are probably still going to be in Taiwan, but with the rate at which TSMC is building fabs overseas, it shouldn't matter much.

That fact completely skipped my mind. You're right.

Intel seems vulnerable to Trump tariffs, would seem more likely than TSMC getting into trouble.

Are you saying that Intel is well positioned if Trump let’s China think it can invade Taiwan without consequences?

If so, that’s a hell of a way for Intel to secure its future.

Intel is screwed because their foundry is nowhere near up to speed but AMD has zero alternatives to TSMC in Taiwan so they got it worse - at least for now, I don't think TSMC Arizona is ready yet.

TSMC in Arizona has been at full scale production of 4nm chips for a while now.

using what fab? lol
