Amazing looking machine! $380 million a pop. Must surely be one of the most sophisticated machines humanity has ever built? A great achievement of European science and technology (ducks).

Im rooting for Intel. I hate the current paradigm where all the best chips are made in one factory in Asia.

Tsmc are opening 10 factories in USA at cost of $265bn

Intel staying strong is still vital for competitiveness though

TSMC also AFAIK is forbidden from setting up bleeding-edge fabs outside of Taiwan?

Four more 2nm (or below) fabs in Arizona. That's bleeding-edge or very close to it.

Until they are built, it's all talk.

IMO it's competition that makes better products in the end. If either party becomes a full monopolist the progress will stall (as already happened with Intel I guess)

> as already happened with Intel I guess

In which sense? Intel is neither a full monopolist (AMD, ARM) nor has progress stalled (we're still getting a regular cycle of new generation CPUs which improve on the previous).

Intel didn't do much to improve their CPUs while AMD was out of the competition with the Bulldozer disaster.
