From what i am reading their main innovation vs traditional chip fab is that they can rapidly switch between different designs /products, which apparently is very difficult and expensive with “traditional” chipfab

Man gearresteerd op verdenking van spionage in verband met faillissement chipfabrikant.
Op 10 mei 2026 werd H.L., een 52-jarige man met de Belgisch-Chinese nationaliteit, gearresteerd toen hij op het punt stond te vertrekken naar Beijing. Hij wordt verdacht van spionage. H.L. is een voormalig leidinggevende bij BelGaN, een nu failliete chipfabrikant uit Oudenaarde die gespecialiseerd was in galliumnitride (GaN) chips. BelGaN was de laatste industriële chipproducent in België en ontving steun van de Vlaamse overheid. De geproduceerde chips vonden toepassing in onder meer opladers, elektrische voertuigen, lucht- en ruimtevaart en militaire systemen. In 2021 kwam het bedrijf in Chinese handen, waarna H.L. een leidinggevende functie kreeg bij Gankool, een Chinees bedrijf dat kort...

my team has an in-group joke about this called "The Silicon Standard", which, paraphrased: Look, we cannot afford our own chipfab, and even if we could, we cannot also mine our own silicon. Everyone's idea of where to draw the line is different, but at some point you gotta pull something in.

first followup.
one of my team isn't a programmer but mechanical engineer, and another wrote his own vector library in C from scratch. the group chat routinely half-jokes about how we should do our own chipfab.
the problem? we don't have half a billion to do it. XD

and even in your case, you DO have dependencies unless you're hiding a chipfab up your sleeve. and you make your own food on a plot of land, and you pollinate it yourself. and you make your own oxygen.
...hm. as the child of two dairy farming lines, i take a really broad view of "dependencies".

Also, don't they only make, like 8 chipfab machines a YEAR, with a multi-year waiting list and really exacting installation requirements?

Domestic chipfab was a goal of the Biden admin and is a goal of the Trump admin. Phones, sure. Missile guidance systems, absolutely. Every appliance with a chip in it, you see where this is going.
AI is another stated goal of the current admin. This requires GPUs, GPUs need semiconductors.

The massive capital you speak of has a lot to do with the politiking of the certification red tape. On a purely technical level, GMP is achievable with a lot less than you think. You are operating on the assumption that costs are merely due to difficulty. Again, not 2nm EUV chipfab ($350M machine).

On the day that TSMC let it be known that the chipfab (for Nvidia and Apple, mostly) is cranking out 4nm silicon in Arizona, we're still stuck roughly here as far as "meaningful use cases for 4nm silicon" go.

That’s not even factoring in you have to train and then pay American employees who expect 30-40% more money.
This is my favorite confidently incorrect take today from someone who clearly knows dick about chipfab.
