Chips with everything for TSMC
Taipei , Taiwan
The small East Asian island state of Taiwan is the world ’ s undisputed leader in terms of raw semiconductor manufacturing .
This is due to a single company : Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co ( TSMC ), which single-handedly manufactures roughly 50 % of the world ’ s semiconductors . On average it makes around 15 million chips a year .
Unlike chip makers such as Samsung or Intel – which produce semiconductors for use in their own products – TSMC manufactures semiconductors for many other companies , including Apple , AMD , Nvidia and Qualcomm .
