That Tweet was probably written by Intel. They are the only Corp to really benefit from the $50B pkg deal.

"....are two nodes ahead of the Chinese SMIC." Not for long.

The Tech Sector with their hands out; no matter they made record profits. Any progress made in establishing or increasing chip production here in the US will be run right back off shore courtesy of the unions. Any investment in TSMC is an investment in China in the long run. I predict Taiwan...

Will these peripherals teach me to hate myself?

When Chang is flying the Red Chinese flag atop his plants, he'll quickly change his attitude. When MWIMB spent millions in Clarksville TN to start building a semiconductor plant, Red China dumped them on the market. Construction was halted and the property was eventually sold. The local state...

Pentium 110(?) w/W95. The only browsers then were Explorer and Netscape. Netscape was not free. Most of my games were on 5.25" flippies. Not much later I gave it to my father when I built my own. Multistar, dBase IV, Wordperfect, Multimate, etc.

I hope the world goes this insane when China takes Taiwan....

The Grandson is playing WH III on my 5950x/RTX 3090 PC and it seems to run well. I've only just peered at it occasionally while speaking with him. The monitor is a 27" 4K 60hz.

Not very forward looking, is it?

Will this fit the Dell version of the RTX 3090?

Any investment in Taiwan is simply an investment that China will benefit from. If anyone thinks there is a chip shortage now, wait until China takes Taiwan while the world idly stands by. China will have the world by the testes.

What company would set up operations in a country whose gov't changes hands every 18 months? This has to be a ploy to elicit better deals elsewhere.

Chip shortage? You haven't seen a chip shortage. Wait 'till China takes Taiwan. Then you will see a chip shortage. Dark days indeed....

I just bought into all AMD (5950x/6900xt) for the first time ever. Having looked (or listened) to the Intel reviews, I'll stay where I am at for a couple years. If I were coming from my older Intel chips it would be a different story. I'm happy with my build.

Taiwan is not going to be autonomous much longer. Any "investment" there will belong to the Chinese in short order. The world depends on Taiwan's chips but will stand idly by as it is taken under China's "protective wing".
