Izingxabano phakathi kwabakhiqizi bezinkontileka ze-semiconductors akuyona into evamile, futhi ngaphambili kwakudingeka sikhulume kabanzi mayelana nokubambisana, kodwa manje inani labadlali abakhulu emakethe yalezi zinsizakalo lingabalwa eminwe yesandla esisodwa, ngakho-ke ukuncintisana kuyahamba. endizeni ebandakanya ukusetshenziswa kwezindlela ezisemthethweni zomzabalazo. I-GlobalFoundries izolo I-TSMC isebenzise kabi amalungelo ayo obunikazi ayishumi nesithupha ahlobene nokwakhiwa kwemikhiqizo ye-semiconductor. Izimangalo zathunyelwa ezinkantolo zase-United States naseJalimane, futhi abamangalelwa abayona i-TSMC kuphela, kodwa futhi namakhasimende ayo: i-Apple, Broadcom, Mediatek, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Xilinx, kanye nenani labakhiqizi bedivayisi yabathengi. Ezokugcina zihlanganisa i-Google, i-Cisco, i-Arista, i-ASUS, i-BLU, i-HiSense, i-Lenovo, i-Motorola, i-TCL ne-OnePlus.
Imiklamo ye-GlobalFoundries esetshenziswe ngokungemthetho, ngokusho kommangali, yasetshenziswa yi-TSMC ngaphakathi kohlaka lwe-7-nm, 10-nm, 12-nm, 16-nm kanye ne-28-nm inqubo yobuchwepheshe. Mayelana nokusetshenziswa kwenqubo yobuchwepheshe ye-7-nm, ummangali unezimangalo ezimelene ne-Apple, i-Qualcomm, i-OnePlus ne-Motorola, kodwa i-NVIDIA icatshangelwa kumongo wokusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe be-16-nm kanye ne-12-nm. Uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi i-GlobalFoundries ifuna kuvinjelwe ukungeniswa kwemikhiqizo efanele e-US naseJalimane, i-NVIDIA ibeka engcupheni lonke uhla lwayo lwama-GPU esimanje. I-Apple ayikho kangcono, ngoba kukhulunywa ngayo ecaleni kumongo wokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-TSMC be-7nm, 10nm kanye ne-16nm.
Enkulumweni yayo kwabezindaba, i-GlobalFoundries ithi kule minyaka eyishumi edlule le nkampani itshale okungenani ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-15 ekuthuthukiseni imboni ye-semiconductor yaseMelika, futhi okungenani i-$ 6 billion ekuthuthukisweni kwebhizinisi elikhulu kunawo wonke eYurophu, elizuze ku-AMD. . Ngokusho kwabamele ummangali, sonke lesi sikhathi i-TSMC "yasebenzisa ngokungemthetho izithelo zokutshalwa kwezimali." Ulimi olunepolitiki lubiza abezomthetho base-United States naseJalimane ukuthi bavikele isizinda sokukhiqiza salezi zifunda ezimbili. Ngesikhathi sokushicilela lolu daba, i-TSMC ibingakaphenduli kulezi zinsolo.
Lena akuyona ukungqubuzana kokuqala phakathi kwe-TSMC ne-GlobalFoundries emkhakheni wezomthetho - ngo-2017, laba bakhalaza ngomkhuba wangaphambili wobudlelwane namakhasimende, okusho ukugqugquzela imali ngokwethembeka. Ngo-2015, inkampani yaseNingizimu Korea i-TSMC yasola lowo owayeyisisebenzi owathola umsebenzi kwaSamsung ngokweba ubuchwepheshe bezimboni. Umkhiqizi wemishini ye-lithography i-ASML nayo izithole ibandakanyeka ehlazweni kule ntwasahlobo ngezinsolo zobunhloli bezimboni ezibhekiswe kubasebenzi abambalwa bophiko lwayo lwaseMelika. Kukholakala ukuthi abameleli baseChina bangase babe nesithakazelo ekuvuzeni kwe-lithographic technologies.
