With US President Donald Trump accusing Taiwan of taking away America's semiconductor manufacturing, his remarks have already sent ripples through Taiwan's industry and even its national security landscape.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world’s largest chip manufacturer, intends to spend $100 billion in the United States over the next four years to expand its production capacity and bring its most advanced semiconductor processes to its operations in Arizona.

Intel says its cutting-edge 18A process node is 'now ready' and that tape-out begins in 1H 2025, ready to compete with semiconductor leader TSMC.

China accused Taiwan of attempting to surrender its prized semiconductor industry to the United States as a "souvenir" to gain political support, amid reports that Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. has been in talks for a stake in Intel Corp.

The price of Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, has dropped to around $90,285 in anticipation of a $100 billion investment from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the globe’s biggest contract chipmaker,

In a blistering critique, former Intel CEO and Chairman Craig Barrett has strongly opposed breaking the company into separate design and foundry units, arguing that Intel’s recent technological resurgence positions it to challenge TSMC’s dominance in the semiconductor industry without corporate dismantling.

Saddled with restrictions on access to semiconductor imports and fresh tariffs on exports, China is bristling at the prospect of Taiwan

Xintec, a TSMC-affiliated semiconductor packaging house, anticipates that increased geopolitical uncertainties, declining market demand, and shifts in customer-supplier strategies will have an impact on its future operations.

With geopolitical tensions reshaping the semiconductor landscape, Intel's future hinges on decisions made by its board, the Trump administration, and Wall Street investors eyeing its assets. But inside Intel,

TSMC (NYSE:TSM) is reportedly considering acquiring a stake in Intels (NASDAQ:INTC) U.S. chip factories at the Trump administrations request, as part of efforts to bolster domestic semiconductor production.

Horrible, Demoralising Mistake' A fiery backlash has erupted following rumours that Intel and TSMC could form a semiconductor joint venture. One senior Intel engineer warned that handing over control to the Taiwanese chip giant would be a "horrible,
