Does anyone know what node this facility produces? If it's a 28nm line that's a whole different level of impact than 5nm or 7nm.
This article says 40nm: https://taiwanwireservice.com/tsmc-40-nanometer-chip-product...

Off topic, but the original article also talks about how the factory is trucking in water in the midst of a bad drought. Hah, insane.

It reminds me of how the price of corn shot up when corn-based biofuels became a trend as oil prices were skyrocketing. (I guess that was 2007). When you'd rather burn your food to power machines, the world has gone a bit mad...

Corn is subsidized in the US, hence all the biofuel and HFCS.
