China became the largest market for such equipment in 2020, according to a December report from SEMI, an industry association. With Huawei and other tech companies stockpiling chips ahead of US restrictions, imports surged about 14 per cent in 2020. Huawei was blacklisted by the US government...

: USA Sanktionen gg chin.Supercomputerfirmen
"...But the even bigger concern here is that China is building these supercomputers with US military technology via a company called Phytium The Chinese entities are Tianjin Phytium Information Technology, Shanghai High-Performance Integrated Circuit Design Center, Sunway Microelectronics and the National Supercomputing Center branches. The washington post this week said Phytium used technology from Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys. The entity list move would effectively prevent the two California-based companies from providing services and products to the Chinese firms. But it would not bar them from supplying the Chinese groups if that technology were produced in facilities outside of the US.

https://www.globalbankingandfinance.com/...ng-with-company-officials/ Intel Corp Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger attended the meeting virtually and told Reuters that Intel is in talks with suppliers of automotive chips to produce their chips in Intel’s factories. The goal would be to start producing chips within six to nine months to address a shortage that has idled assembly lines at some U.S. automotive plants.

The new chips bring huge advantages for customers: the smaller the transistors on a chip, the lower the energy consumption and higher the speed. Measuring 160,000 square metres, the size of 22 football fields, the plant is commensurate with TSMC itself: a hulk with a stranglehold on global semiconductor manufacturing.....
....While many governments would love to be able to mimic its success, they are likely to find the costs of trying to match TSMC prohibitive. And its customers are beginning to realise they are not dealing with a traditional supplier.

Taiwan Semiconductor Q1 2021 Ergebnisvorschau Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM ) wird voraussichtlich am Donnerstag, dem 15. April, vor der Marktöffnung die Ergebnisse des ersten Quartals bekannt geben.
TAIPEI (BLOOMBERG) - Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSNC), the world's No. 1 maker of advanced silicon, reported better-than-expected profit as global companies from carmakers to PC suppliers scramble for chips.
Net income for the January-March period climbed 19 per cent to NT$139.7 billion (S$6.56 billion), versus the average analyst estimate of NT$136.2 billion. Gross margin for the quarter eased to 52.4 per cent from 54 per cent in the three months prior, due in part to relatively lower levels of utilization and exchange-rate fluctuations.
Prices going up..."Recall, in early April we noted that semi chip prices were expected to rise through all of 2021. This month alone, suppliers like Japan’s top silicone producer, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd. marked up prices between 10% and 20%, according to Caixin, who reported that growing input costs and supply disruptions could be tide that continues to push up prices. One Jiangsu diode manufacturer said it's suppliers had raised prices five times since the second half of 2020. The hikes represented a total markup of between 30% and 40%, including a new 10% hike that came into effect last week. Last week, we had noted that smartphone sales in China had risen in March by 67.7% despite the shortage.

kann nur jemand schreiben, der Null Ahnung hat von der Chipindustrie. Wie schwierig es ist ,bestimmte Nanometer herzustellen und nicht die nötigen Fachleute zu haben, werden noch etliche Firmen merken,auch wenn Biden jetzt mit Geld die Chipindustrie stützt wegen der fehlenden Chips vor allem in der Autoindustrie . Da dürfte TSMC recht haben, die sagen der Chipmangel erstreckt sich noch bis ins nächste Jahr s#192
