  1. >The Taiwanese chipmaker’s yield rate in trial production at its first advanced US plant is similar to comparable facilities in the southern Taiwanese city of Tainan, according to a person familiar with the company, who asked not to be identified discussing private corporate matters.

    Not a lot of information to go off of so I’m hesitant to fully accept this claim, but it is still a good indicator of U.S. semicondutor production domestically.

  2. It’s interesting to see TSMC’s Arizona plant keeping pace with Taiwan’s productivity, but one has to wonder if long-term sustainability will be as smooth given the differences in workforce and infrastructure.
