At an event in Arizona on Tuesday, where President Joe Biden also spoke, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the company would purchase microchips created in the United States. A video of the event shows Cook stating that Apple would purchase chips built in a new Arizona factory.

And these chips may now proudly bear the Made in America stamp, thanks to the labor of so many, Cook added. This is a very important time in history.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the largest foundry with more than half of the global market share, will be the owner and operator of the chip plants. The most cutting-edge CPUs, including those used in the most recent iPhones, iPads, and Macs, are made by TSMC.

The facilities will be able to produce the latest processing chips, such as those used in Apple’s A- and M-series processors and Nvidia’s graphics processors, which are 4-nanometer and 3-nanometer in size.

Cook declared, “Today is just the beginning.” “Today, we’re fusing the know-how of TSMC with the unmatched inventiveness of American labor. We are sowing our seed in the Arizona desert in an effort to build a better, brighter future. And we at Apple are pleased to support its development.

Apple had to import all of its cutting-edge semiconductors, but now, according to Biden, they’re bringing more of their supply chain domestically. It might affect the course of events. Apple would be the “site’s largest customer,” Cook wrote in a tweet.

The majority of TSMC’s manufacturing is now done in Taiwan, which has led lawmakers in the United States and Europe to wonder how they would ensure supply in the case of a Chinese invasion or other regional problems. While semiconductor manufacturers like Apple and Nvidia develop their own chips, TSMC and Samsung Foundry handle the manufacturing.

The American government will partially support the manufacturers in Arizona. The CHIPS and Science Act, which includes billions of dollars in incentives for businesses that establish chip manufacturing capabilities on American soil, was signed into law earlier this year by Vice President Biden.

On Tuesday, TSMC announced that it would invest $40 billion in the two factories in Arizona. By 2024, the first Phoenix factory is anticipated to start producing chips. The Biden administration has stated that the second facility will start operations in 2026.

The National Economic Council estimates that when the TSMC plants are fully operating, they will be able to supply the yearly demand for 600,000 wafers in the United States.

The TSMC facilities in the United States will create only a small portion of the 12 million wafers that the company generated in 2020.

AMD intends to be a large user of the TSMC Arizona fabs, according to AMD CEO Lisa Su’s remarks on Tuesday.

The American chipmaker Intel has also stated that it wants to compete for Apple’s business and is constructing chip plants in Ohio and Arizona, which are anticipated to receive some CHIPS act funding.

Despite the fact that its manufacturing capabilities now fall short of TSMC’s, Intel stated last year that it will serve as a foundry for other businesses. Because of this, Intel is less desirable for the quickest CPUs.
