TSMC’s $100 billion pledge won’t resurrect US chipmaking, says Intel’s ex-CEO | US must boost R&D to gain "semiconductor leadership."


US must boost R&D to gain “semiconductor leadership.”…

His comments come less than a month after the White House hailed the investment from TSMC, the world’s largest chip manufacturer, as an important milestone in efforts to bring production of the most advanced semiconductors back on to US soil. The former Intel chief added, however, that President Donald Trump’s tariff threats had at least been “incrementally beneficial” for the US by giving chip manufacturers like TSMC more incentive to locate their facilities in the country. He was speaking in an interview this week after becoming a partner at Playground Global, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm that specialises in “deep tech” investments, including in fields like quantum computing and new chip making technologies.
