@Intellionaire There was no money in the first chips act, despite the headlines, and definitely no money in 2.0. Needs a national government that is not broke to back it. It’s within the realm of the possible and there are euro pols who want it, but I think you’re mistaken about how concrete
@fbermingham@TobiasGehrke@TGehrke_ The fantastical misconception here is that "Europe" controls ASML's DUV exports, when in fact the Netherlands does. In Brussels terminology, it's a national competence. Restrictions are also a defense tool, not a trade tool. FWIW.
Quite a pointed exchange on Iran at the European Commission's daily press conference today in which the spokespeople refused to explain whether the US & Israel breached international law, or clarify von der Leyen's post over the weekend which appeared to call for regime change
The Dutch government said it is taking control of chipmaker Nexperia, which manufactures computer chips for the car and consumer electronics industries, due to worries about the possible transfer of technology to its Chinese parent company, Wingtech https://t.co/bhaaNvFT9m
@SKundojjala The correlation will strengthen. 1) lead times are decreasing as ASML improves at making and TSMC at installing 2) ASML now has spare capacity 3) As TSMC's share of advanced nodes increases, its EUV orders dominate ASML bookings. ASML is dropping the metric for TSMC secrecy.
@DrFrederickChen@lithos_graphein data from a UBS report: 277 EUV tools culmulative, 123 for TSMC, 110 for Samsung (logic+memory), 42 for Hynix 41 for Intel, 28 for Micron. Implies ASML has had something like $50 billion in EUV revenue (ever). Looks a hair high, implies EUV was 1/2 of ASML revenue 2019-2024
