TSMCTSM
The foundry: every leading AI accelerator — NVIDIA, AMD, custom hyperscaler XPUs — is manufactured by TSMC, and its CoWoS advanced-packaging capacity has repeatedly been THE binding constraint on global GPU supply. Its Arizona expansion is the centerpiece of U.S. reshoring; its Taiwan concentration is the industry's biggest geopolitical risk.
