Infographic by Valdai Club Technological lag There is a high likelihood that the United States will continue to lag behind Taiwan for several years in the production of advanced semiconductors. TSMC plans to begin producing chips using a 1.4nm process by 2028, while on US soil—if deadlines aren’t pushed back again—the Taiwanese firm will only be producing 3nm chips by that time. Although some hope is being placed on Intel , there is no guarantee that the American champion will be able to compete with TSMC , or that a potential collaboration with TSMC (if it acquires a stake in Intel Foundry ) will be successful. Inadequate production capacity Experts estimate ...
