TSMC saying chips made in US will cost 30% more

[pc-guy]

Probably same for most things not made in China. That said, we need to do it.

chips werent made in china, thats the point. it was mainly in Taiwan just now TSMC is asking for a 30% margin for being made in USA

Chip manufacture is not a significant part of the economy its not going to add to inflation in general the reason they'll be 30% more expensive is because wages etc are higher in the West in general its why we import so much crap from China and the far east in general we can't manufacture it for the same prices. Moving production to the US is a political move not an economic one Washington does not want all of the West's chip manufacture being in the hands of the CCP

Yes I understand that. It was a general point that whilst we may have good reason to bring manufacturing onshore the cost will go up. This will make us feel poorer unless wages rise inline with prices. It won't just be chips rising in price.

A bit of a hard sell.

Boss, my new PC cost 15% more soo yeah, pay rise please.

Chips made at my local chippy went up by 35% so i just tank it move on in life.

Yes it's not a cheap meal going to the chippy any more. If the higher food prices keep up it will be interesting to see if it affects waistlines We cook a lot from scratch and don't buy a lot of branded items so that's kept it under control.

I suspect more people will stick with older hardware for longer and not upgrade each year or 2 if prices are high. Will hit manufacturers eventually

Intel have been making a killing selling older hardware for decades. Now Intel get to sell older hardware at a lower relative cost.

Chips will cost more...if there's even enough people to help make them

Chip fabs are coming to the U.S., but will there be enough skilled workers?

Intel, TSMC, Samsung and other global companies are all planning chip fabs in the U.S. in coming years. | New report estimates need for up to 90,000 jobs to serve up to 20 domestic fabs

It's seen multiple reports saying US Universities are currently trying to get students into semi conductor studies so there will be enough workers for these jobs

U.S. Universities Are Building a New Semiconductor Workforce

The CHIPS Act could require 50,000 new engineers

Countries/Companies, should have started doing this 30+ years ago !

We was doing it 30 years ago and doing it well! We then allowed foreign firms to buy everything and run solid companies into the ground after asset stripping them.
