Apple and Nvidia chip supplier TSMC is spending US$65 billion on three giant factories in the state of Arizona.

Apple is expanding its US-made chip roster, but according to TSMC’s CEO, the most modern chips will continue being manufactured elsewhere.

TSMC's new U.S. plant is unlikely to get the most advanced chip technology before factories in Taiwan due to complex compliance issues, local construction regulations and various permitting requirements,

TSMC is drastically increasing its expenditures to get its cutting-edge 1.6nm chips into 'volume production' by 2026, with big revenue increases expected.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing confirmed it started commercial production at its Phoenix complex during fourth quarter when profits surged 57%.
