TSMC has achieved early production yields at its first plant in Arizona that surpass similar factories back home, a significant breakthrough for a US expansion project initially dogged by delays and worker strife. Anja Manuel, executive director of the Aspen Strategy Group and former diplomat, joins Caroline Hyde and Ed Ludlow to discuss what that means for the US’s chip manufacturing ambitions on “Bloomberg Technology.”

    Appreciate her answering the “A minus” grade question. Sure its simplistic but it is clear.

    Good interview. Missing piece was Intel Fab.

    Don’t stop investigating the Taiwan sales to China.

      no way, how it possible for that? the media always claims our country always wanted to so called invade Taiwan though, how does a country sell those stuff to their hostile country ?

    There’s NO WAY winnie (Xitler) is happy about this. I see a lot of broken honey jars tonight.

    “strong export controls” “what about the fact that theyre not working?” “Yeah theyre not” …?

    History has shown the the PRC is very good at undermining US technology advantage by shortcutting R&D through massive intellectual property theft. The US and European partners need to maintain tough controls against access of the highest technology from the PRC.

    Here is where it gets so STUPID. All of our resources are to slow the Chinese down and in the meantime at home, our “F” REGULATIONS IS SLOWING OUR INOVATIONS. The bottom line is you can’t STOP the Chinese.

    sd Same than the previous woman; she has no idea what she is talking about… the most advanced chips humans can build is because I promoted something for free… NO COMPANY IS LEADING… They may sell something but no company is leading….

    More semiconductors please ????

    Cut the crap please. US Gov hasnt give a penny to TSMC. All talk no action. TSMC did it all with people and $$ from TW. If USG continue to eat its own word, chips made in US for sure would be more expensive.

    Hoping to hear some news on TSMC Arizona Plant. But nothing 🙁

  14. @alalfred3474

    October 26, 2024 at 3:35 am

    The chip product cost of Arizona plant is significantly higher (2X?) than those TSMC fabs in Taiwan. We, the poor consumers, will have to foot the bill. It will be cheaper and easier by defending Taiwan from China’s aggressions.

      clearly you don’t know taiwan is a province and not a country

  15. @DaxVJacobson

    October 26, 2024 at 4:33 am

    The export controls are working Great, China is having enormous trouble making commercial grade chips with decent yields.

  16. @vin.k.k

    October 26, 2024 at 4:51 am

    Collaborate with China when it benefits you and impose sanctions when it benefits them. Good logic.

    What means national security? That means national insecurity in USA.

    Can’t wait for the election to be over so most of the intense lying will stop.
