The promise of spending an additional $ 100 billion in the United States of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company will work very little to help the country back to the country’s chipmecking, according to Pat Galsanger for Intel’s Chief Executive late last year.

Less than a month after the White House praised his comments after a month Investment From the world’s largest chip maker, TSMC, the most advanced semi -superpowers are an important milestone in an attempt to return to the US soil.

“If you do not have R&D in the United States, you will not have semiconductor leadership in the United States,” said Jailza. “All the research and development work of TSMC is in Taiwan and they have not made any announcement to remove it.”

Former Intel chief added, however, the threat of President Donald Trump’s tariff was “growing” in the United States by further incentive to identify their benefits in the country like TSMC.

The Trump administration has risen a lot at the TSMC in the midst of suspicion of Intel’s skills to return to the Taiwanese company a decade ago.

Of the jailings Departure Late last year was widely seen as a rejection by its complex turnaround plan, which included attempts to rebuild Intel’s production base. His successor to pull the lip-bo, employed At the beginning of this monthCould not set his strategy yet.

Do not comment on whether you have read with Intel’s directors on former Intel’s chief executive strategy, but he indicates that he has lost their confidence in less than four years in his five -year plan.

“When the board made directional changes I didn’t work with the five-plus years,” he said.

TSMC says it is the only development work to plan it in the United States.

“If you do not design the next generation transistor technology in the United States, you don’t have your leadership in the United States,” said Jeljar.

Silicon Valley Valley Valley Valley Valley Valley Valley, a Capital Farm Playground Global, spoke in an interview this week, along with fields like quantum computing and new chip making technologies.

Despite losing the cutting-edge process used in chip manufacturing, Zelzar said that the United States still had many advanced technologies worldwide, which could determine the future leadership of artificial intelligence.

He also shut down the suggestions that DIPSEC, a Chinese AI company, who was shocked by US technology experts and investors earlier this year’s short expensive technology, created a serious challenge to American companies.

“DIPSEC was good engineering, it was not the original innovation. It was not big progress,” he said.

The playground-backed start-ups include exelite, which can play a role in future generations of lithography needed to create chips. Other investments include Cisicantum, the first quantum computing company, which has begun to create a large size quantum machine, and one of the several start-ups of Nvidia is one of the many start-ups that are trying to jump into the D-Matrix, AI systems to run the AI ​​systems.

While in the Intel, the Gel Singar failed to build a field against NVDia in AI Chips, though he said this week that new technologies needed to bring AI to the mainstream.

“AI, as exciting as it is, it’s very expensive,” he said. “In every field of humanity, we need to have a dramatic decrease at the expense of our assumption.”
