While Samsung invests in USA plant, apple claims they cannot due to operating costs.

Obviously this pandemic has not taught anybody anything.

Easy to play catch-up and exceed when you don't put in the initial R&D.

GSM Boy, 23 Jan 2021Wow, its quite a coincidence that Xiaomi have been ban last... moreI haven't heard of Samsung being a security risk to the USA. This makes sense.
Plus, since we're all about being having options and stuff it's good to see someone not opening another manufacturing plant in china where they can dictate all sorts of bs.

3nm???
Thats too big.
Want to see chipsets smaller than a Quark.

Wonder why not all of the EU is onboard that euro 145 bill declaration to make chips itself. Missing are bulgaria, czechia, denmark, hungary, ireland, latvia, lithuania, luxembourg, poland, sweden.

Kenda, 24 Jan 2021Wow, you really don't know much about this subject...S... moreignorant comment
SMIC is getting $500 billion investment from the Government, as part of $2.1 Trillion investment to start making Fabbing machinese themselves, as to get rid of ASML which uses American IP.
the thing is for the near future they are modifying existing ASML machinese with DUV to 7nm and 5nm machines.
Futhurmore to develop , their own themselves, these Gordon Chang crowd are skinning themselves and hoping china fails 😂😂😂

Anonymous, 23 Jan 2021They “were” dependant, now they are making their own Fabbin... moreWow, you really don't know much about this subject...SMIC is making chip fabbing plants for 7nm and 5nm by USING machines from ASML. They make the chips themselves but don't make the machines that are required to make the chips, so they're fully dependent on ASML to make the chips, which is also the case for all the other chip makers like TSMC (where Qualcomm, Apple, AMD chips get fabbed) , Intel & Samsung.
Since, market leaders like TSMC, Samsung and Intel can't make their own machines for chip fabrication, SMIC can't make their own machines for hell, atleast for the next 10 years..unless you have some magical source or report that says otherwise, then please share with us.
