Daniel Nenni literally wrote the book on silicon manufacturing and how the fab business evolved over the past 50 years. There's really no one better to discuss the causes...and hopefully end of the current silicon shortages. We also discuss Nvidia buying ARM, and Intel's ability to catch up to AMD and TSMC.
