    A few more details and updates: - At 10:49 I said the EUV light bounces through lenses and mirrors. This is not fully accurate, they only use mirrors for this light since lenses actually absorb it. Lenses are used for the lasers that create the plasma at the earlier stage. - Just a day or two ago Intel announced a big revamp to their fab business where they will basically adopt the Samsung model and let others use their fabs to make chips too. I didn't have time to update this video for the news, but will talk more about it in my next video on my second channel. Subscribe if you haven't already: kzread.info

    EUV systems, now @ $150 mllion /piece, former ASML engineer. Lenses where used in DUV systems, EUV uses flat mirrors. One mirror, if it has the size of Germany, highest "hill" on that mirror would be 0,5 mm high. China tried to copy a DUV system, but couldn't get it to work.

I think there are plans from intel and TSMC to expand their american manufacturing, so hopefully more american made equipment ends up staying in america.

    True, but even with an open standard for fabrication, the complexity is so great that a fabricator must build the human capital skills to use these complex machines to produce chips at a very high rate of quality. The minimum qualification for these human beings is a PhD in Physics or Chemistry just to get started.

Do you think that once we hit that barrier (what could it be? 2nm?) competitors could have the time to catch up with TSMC? Is that feasible/reasonable? Do you have any hope that the bleeding edge monopoly could end along with Moore's Law? EDIT: grammar

    The bottleneck of the instruction set, while being the least significant now, is probably the most significant for the future. At the end of the day, you don't care about instruction sets, chip design, silicone fabs etc., you care about owning a device, that you can open a game, and when you press f you pay respect. The instruction set is the mediator between the code a developer writes and the product a user has. Every dev environment that is "platform agnostic" has an f ton of libraries underneath it that have many different, very platform specific, implementations. It's enough for one of those libraries to not work for the whole software to break(see: how removing leftpad from NPM broke half the internet for a day). So you can make a super fast, super efficient, super cheap processor technology, powered entirely by potato juice and RGB lights, and even being able of making it compatible with ARMv8 and X86-64 - and still, if Intel+AMD and ARM decide not to sell you a license, we are SOL. Every single piece of software would need to be rewritten into your new assembly language, including every single dependency it has, before it would be able to run on RGB-potato chips. This is why moving to ARM instead of an open platform might be a really bad idea the longer run - we will go through the struggle once, just to go through it again once ARM decides to stop playing nicely.

    This isn't 100% true, because a good 95% of real code is fairly platform independent, being written in either C or some higher level language. As long as you can get a major compiler to support your architecture, such as gcc or clang/llvm (note that both of these are open source projects), it should be a fairly simple endeavor to port Linux to that processor. Will there be a significant amount of platform dependent code that needs to be rewritten, yes even in userspace applications; however, to say that if you cannot get an x86 or ARM license, the technology is DOA is a huge overstatement. MIPS and POWER architectures are still fairly widely used in embedded and server applications respectively. My hot take on why ARM and x86 dominate is the wide variety of binary-only software available for those platforms through Windows, IOS, and Android. If you can recompile the source code, the ISA matters a whole lot less. That won't necessarily make it popular, but it can make it viable.

    Well, even if another company licenses the necessary patents from ASML and manages to become capable of producing EUV machines (which alone would take years), every EUV machine requires many high-tech components that are also limited in supply. For example, the mirrors that redirect the EUV light must be manufactured extremely precisely, there is only a single German firm capable of that at the moment and they're unable to supply what ASML demands, so this is a bottleneck in EUV machine production. They're probably working on increasing production but that can take years.

    There's one thing you forgot to discuss about chip design especially the miniature ones: failure's pretty more common as you decrease the size of the chips. Intel couldn't release its 10nm because they couldn't produce a lot of usable chips per wafer, hence, they were struggling for years. They used to be the leader, beating GloFo and TSMC. Because of Intel's complacency at the top, they didn't realize TSMC/AMD was catching up to them and caught them with their pants down. Now, Intel's in the same situation as AMD in its Bulldozer era just a decade ago. Their chips had become hot and inefficient and can't move past 14nm. I hear Intel's doing major restructuring to get back to the top, unfortunately, at the expense of its other advancements, like its Optane memory. I hope that this would result in better prices and products for the consumer

Not that this is a new thing, Intel's Celeron line was basically created for "broken but good enough" faulty chips by turning off certain parts of the chip like Hyperthreading (which was at the time new , cutting edge, and as might you anticipated by now, finicky to manufacture at first).
