Intel chief says Taiwan ‘not a stable place’ (2021/12/03)
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has added fuel to the fire of his rivalry with TSMC. At a tech forum in California, Gelsinger said, quote, "Taiwan is not a stable place." He said that Washington needed to invest more in American chipmakers, rather than depend on Asian foundries like TSMC. When asked for comment on Gelsinger's remarks, TSMC CEO Mark Liu declined, saying, quote, "It isn't worth a response."
Patrick Gelsinger
Intel CEO
Twenty-seven sorties from China flew into Taiwan’s airspace on Monday. Does that make you feel more comfortable or less?
The CEO of TSMC’s main rival Intel attended the Fortune Brainstorm Tech this week. At the event, he described Taiwan as unsafe due to constant PLA incursions. He said it was unwise for the U.S. to overly depend on Taiwan’s TSMC.
Patrick Gelsinger
Intel CEO
If you’re now dependent on Taiwan as the singular of technology for the most critical aspect of our human existence, and our national security, and economy for the future – this is precarious.
Gelsinger said Taiwan was unstable and that TSMC was mired in geopolitical risks. With TSMC building a plant in Arizona, Samsung has announced a US$17 billion plant in Texas. Their U.S. expansion, which is being encouraged by Washington, has put pressure on Intel, which has repeatedly called for more investment in American companies. On Friday, Taiwan’s economics minister threw her full support behind TSMC, saying it had proven itself with its technology.
Wang Mei-hua
Economics minister
Our semiconductor industry in Taiwan is constantly advancing – one step at a time. TSMC’S technologies and its yield rate have won high affirmation from its clients. Here in Taiwan, our job is to do our job well.
When asked for comment about Gelsinger’s remarks, TSMC CEO Mark Liu declined. He said, “It isn’t worth a response. I won’t slander anyone in the industry.” Liu told media that construction on TSMC’s plant in Arizona was progressing according to schedule.
In the battle for chip supremacy, TSMC is still in the lead, with Samsung and Intel far behind. Both have said they intend to overtake TSMC by 2024.

英特爾執行長嗆台! 劉德音:我們不會重傷同業
台積電到美國亞利桑那州設廠，受到美國大力支持，不過台積電死對頭、英特爾執行長基辛格出席「財富科技論壇」時，大嗆台灣是個不穩定的地方，不該過度依賴台積電，因為中國軍機擾台有風險，對此台積電董事長表示不評論，也說台積電美國廠仍按計畫進行中。
[[英特爾執行長 基辛格]]
“中國派27架軍機，周一飛抵台灣領空，這讓你感到自在還是不自在？”
台積電死對頭、美國半導體大廠英特爾執行長基辛格出席「財富科技論壇」，大嗆台灣不安全，因為中國軍機頻頻擾台，不應該過度依賴台積電。
[[英特爾執行長 基辛格]]
“如果你現在過度依賴，你知道台灣是唯一技術來源，在我們生存的最關鍵方面，對於我們的國家安全和未來經濟，所有這些事情都是不穩定的。”
基辛格大嗆台灣不穩定，因為台積電有地緣政治風險。事實上，台積電到美國亞利桑那州設廠，南韓三星近期也宣布要砸170億美元，在德州設晶片廠，受到美國政府大力支持，也讓英特爾備感壓力，老是放話大嗆台積電。對此經濟部長王美花則力挺台積電，說技術早已備受肯定。
[[經濟部長 王美花]]
我們台灣半導體產業不斷地在進步，一步一腳印。他們(台積電)相關技術還有良率都備受他們客戶肯定，我相信我們台灣，就是做好自己的工作。
台積電董事長劉德音表示，不對此事做評論。他說：「不值得回應，不中傷同業。」他也強調，台積電美國亞利桑那州廠目前按照進度進行。
先進製程霸主爭奪戰，台積電一路遙遙領先，三星、英特爾始終落後，也讓兩位對手頻頻放話，嗆聲要在2024年追上台積電。
