🇧🇷Made in the USA“, the premise defended by tim cook, Apple CEO and other US leaders to strengthen US production of critical components. This is the investment of 40,000 million dollars (40,000 million), to be made by TSMC, in the new production complex in the US state of Arizona.
The executive joined the nation’s efforts to start producing, on a large scale, semiconductors such as processors and other vital chipsets for the technology industry on North American soil. It is a paradigm shift that has brought together a series of leaders, from the current president Joe Biden, to several executives in the technology sector.
Tim Cook assured that Apple will manufacture chips in the United States of America
For the first time in more than a decade, the upcoming processors and chipsets that will power Apple products will be made on North American soil. 🇧🇷Made in America” is the seal of quality that TSMC (based in Taiwan) will very soon apply to products manufactured in the planned new plant and production center.
The investment occurred due to a strong market need. By the way, we remember the shortage of chips and semiconductors that, in recent years, slowed down the entire sector and exposed the dependence on a handful of manufacturers.
TSCM will be in charge of manufacturing semiconductors in the US.
Affecting the most diverse sectors, from automotive to technology, the shortage of semiconductors led TSMC to announce an initial investment of US$12 billion in 2021 to create a new production center. This “factory” would relieve some of the pressure put on the Taiwanese company by the market.
More recently, however, this investment was expanded to US$40 billion, with a view to a second center also located in the United States of America. An outstanding investment, by the way, by US President Joe Biden himself.
The United States wants to dethrone China and become the benchmark in chipset production
The first TSMC semiconductor production center in the United States of America will start operations in 2024. The most varied 4 nm chipsets will be produced there, current lithography for next-generation components.
However, in 2026, the scheduled date for the opening and start-up of the second factory/production complex, 3nm processors and semiconductors will be manufactured. That is, the next step in processor architecture and lithography.
In short, we are facing historic milestones in the technology sector, with the United States of America wanting to return to the processor race. The impact of these investments will be felt in the second half of this decade, but it looks promising.
