Despite the aim to strengthen domestic chip manufacturing, the plant must import materials from Taiwan to maintain production quality, revealing gaps in the US semiconductor supply chain. This overseas dependency drives up operational costs significantly.

I was gonna say - 30% only - not too bad, but it seems it could get even cheaper if the supply chain is further expanded.

Yeah this seems expected and I'm hoping more of this is higher wages aswell (can't argue with people getting paid fairly!)

30% due to imports before new tariffs.

...while future expansions aim to produce 2 nm chips by 2028

Badass!!
