Of course we have no strategy, we’re run by a bunch of morons
Fabrication is something that can be done in a developed country, I’ve no idea why us (and other countries like us) don’t do it domestically.
Didn’t need em in the good ld days so don’t em now. we’ll be fine. Anyone who says we need this shit is anti British doomersayer
By how much is the quality of the article reduced by the persistent shoehorning in of the word ‘sexy’?
Just have to have the fish on its own then.
It is a weakness we do need a fab in the uk. Even if its a small one for limited runs. Since alot of chip design is done here.
Nationalise Arm!
Every time I see a headline I think it is the food chips.
Let them eat cake.
Eh hello, the plan is freedom + sovereignty – taxes = success obviously!
Do.we ever have a strategy?
What an interesting read. Never heard of any of this stuff
I 100% thought this was going to be about potatoes and the heatwave.
I’m quite surprised we actually produce semiconductors in the country.
We are going to hit the ground.
From the headlines I was worried we were running short on potatoes.
>Britain has no strategy
Seems like a good slogan to sum up the last few decades
Let me clear some stuff up.
1. The government has never controlled the supply of silicon wafers, they have had literally no power over it, many silicon foundries are very much private and the government can do squat apart from place orders.
2. Most of silicon is made abroad, simply as it is cheaper, we import those chips and with new foundries being built to stop the silicon shortage this makes smaller factories pretty much irrelevant.
3. The article saying that ‘These chips are different from TSMC chips’ is just plain wrong.
If you want to make a custom order with TSMC that is a certain scale then they will produce it (needs to be pretty massive but my point still stands).
Also there are other vendors who make other kinds of chips as well.
“and Britain has no strategy” is a good summary of the last few years
I work in Aerospace. Let me tell you, we are dealing with supply issues WEEKLY that could stop pretty much all international travel if not solved. And it’s getting worse.
The article says it is nuanced. I am not reading that.
Britain could have been home to a brand new Intel fab, but because of brexit Intel ruled-out opening it here.
