Why TSMC Is Building Chip Factories in Japan, Germany and the U.S. | WSJ

Nvidia’s H100 chips are crucial to technology, from their use in smartphones to training complex AI chatbots. But Nvidia outsources their production to one company in Taiwan: the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC. With China threatening to use force to take Taiwan if necessary, the U.S. is worried about a devastating impact on TSMC, which is at the heart of the AI revolution.
