TSMC (Remastered) - Acquired

We dive into the unbelievable and unlikely history behind the quietest technology giant of them all: the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Founded in 1987 by the then-56 year old Morris Chang, already a legend in the semiconductor industry by virtue of his meteoric rise and fall at Texas Instruments, TSMC today manufactures nearly all the leading-edge chips for Nvidia, Apple, Broadcom, Qualcomm, AMD, and yes — even Intel. Tune in for an incredible story of innovation, perseverance and lasers. Lots and lots of lasers!Note: this is a remastered version of our original 2021 episode. We don’t often re-release old episodes, but in this case we have a very timely reason for doing so. Stay tuned! :) Sponsors: Rippling: <a href="https://bit.ly/acquiredrippling">https://bit.ly/acquiredrippling</a> Statsig: <a href="https://bit.ly/acquiredstatsig25">https://bit.ly/acquiredstatsig25</a> Odd Lots: <a h...
