Comment Comment by subtypefiddler It boils down to- Labor relations (unions in Arizona pushed back agains Taiwanese workers build the factory)- Local partners (Denso/Sony and Toyota investing in Japanese project, TSMC on its own in the US)- Subsidies (Japan delivered on promises, US didn't)- Ambition (12nm-28nm in Japan, 4nm in US)It seems the US gov is not very serious about it while Japanese gov surely is. It sounds self-inflicted.(edit: formatting) parent subtypefiddler 2 years ago
- Labor relations (unions in Arizona pushed back agains Taiwanese workers build the factory)
- Local partners (Denso/Sony and Toyota investing in Japanese project, TSMC on its own in the US)
- Subsidies (Japan delivered on promises, US didn't)
- Ambition (12nm-28nm in Japan, 4nm in US)
It seems the US gov is not very serious about it while Japanese gov surely is. It sounds self-inflicted.
