Prediction Partly held up
Goldberg: TSMC's Arizona fab will lag leading-edge chips by half a generation

Assertion Supported
Evans: TSMC manufactures roughly 75% of current-generation semiconductor chips
“TSMC Really in the last five years moved from being one of many players in chips to dominating cutting into chip. So, you know, current generation chips are, I forget the number, three quarters TSMC.”

Assertion Supported
Evans: TSMC makes 5nm chips while Intel is stuck above 10nm
“TSMC is now making this chip at five nanometers, so that's how small the components are, when Intel is stuck at over 10 nanometers.”
