“The most leading-edge technologies will be run in Taiwan because of practical reasons,” chief financial officer Wendell Huang said in an interview on Thursday (Jan 15). Taiwanese officials and TSMC, meanwhile, have said that the chipmaker will keep its best technology at home. The company, Asia’s most valuable, is accelerating the buildout of its capacity in Arizona due to strong demand. North American customers like Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices Inc now account for 75% of TSMC revenue. Trump administration officials last year floated the idea of the Taiwanese company operating some Intel fabs, lending its advanced knowhow to help the US chipmaker struggling to catch up.
