For days, a possible US administration contract with several major processor manufacturers in the world had been rumored. Well, finally it seems that TSMC will officially arrive in the country with a factory that will begin to be built in Arizona next year and that will employ some 1.600 employees that they would start working on it next year 2024. The official confirmation was made by the same company TSMC a few hours ago and possibly most of the production in it will be that of 5nm chips that could be used for Apple devices and others. firms.
In the official TSMC statement, which is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, It is explained that the company was very interested in this project and that it is undoubtedly very important for semiconductors that are manufactured in the United States. Up to 20.000 chip wafers a month will be produced at this new factory, according to early estimates.
It should be noted that for the next iPhone model, Apple will implement the A14 chip and this will be manufactured in a 5-nanometer manufacturing process. These are truly efficient and powerful processors that are produced thanks to the latest engineering advances from TSMC. Undoubtedly, this has a high cost and according to data from the company itself, the cost of this project will rise to approximately 12 billion dollars, but revenues will be higher and relations with both Apple and the Trump government will surely improve after this confirmation of the operation. Intel, Samsung and TSMC were in the bets for the construction of this factory, finally we already have a winner.
