Exploring the repercussions of a major earthquake in Taiwan on chip production, especially for TSMC, a key player in the global semiconductor industry. Delving into Taiwan's crucial role in chip manufacturing and the strategies being adopted by companies like TSMC to mitigate the risks posed by such natural disasters.
The chip industry is center stage this week – Intel’s foundry losses now might prove negligible as the world looks to diversify beyond Taiwan.
(00:21) Asit Sharma and Dylan Lewis discuss:
- The 7.5-magnitude earthquake in Taiwan affecting TSMC and highlighting global dependence on the region for chipmaking.
- Our first look into Intel’s foundry business, and why we’ll probably see more pushes into manufacturing.
- Bob Iger and Disney’s board victory, and where the company should be focused now.
