Microchip giant TSMC will open its first ever European plant.
The complex will be based in the German city of Dresden and is expected to be a project worth more than €10 billion that will strengthen the continent's position in the strategic industrial sector.
TSMC will own 70% of the project and will work with three European partners, the Dutch company NXP and the German Infineon and Bosch, each with a 10% stake.

Bit-Rauschen: Intel bestellt Chips bei TSMC für 14 Milliarden US-Dollar
Intel baut neue Chip-Fabs, kauft aber groß in Taiwan zu. ARM grämt sich über zu geringe Lizenzgebühren und in Frankreich befürchtet man den Atos-Ausverkauf.
#tsmc in Arizona: a concrete monster hungry for water, in the middle of the desert, driving a culture shock. A debacle? That’s quite a story by Rest of the World.
I wonder how this will play out in Dresden, when the new chip facility comes.
Bei der Jagd auf KI-Beschleuniger nutzen Firmen waghalsige Finanzkonstrukte. Intel-Chef argumentiert pro und contra China. ARM-Kunden wollen RISC-V fördern.

"Was vor 5 Jahren noch wie ein Wunder geklungen haette, wird jetzt bereits von einigen Bedenkentraegern kritisiert. Ein Rant auf die Zukunft des Standortes!"
Ich habe mir den Frust von der Seele gebloggt/gepodcastet, weil in den letzten Tagen einfach so unfassbar viel Bloedsinn geschrieben wurde!
Freue mich auf eure Boosts & Reposts. Danke im Voraus 🙏

Bruce: reality of working at TSMC wasn’t exactly what he'd envisioned. While working on nanometer-level processes to make state-of-the-art chips -struggled w language barriers, long hours, & a strict hierarchy -PROD at the FAC: now set to start in 2025.
TSMC insiders: key to co’s success: intense, MIL-style work ENVIR. Engineers work 12-hr days-.
