Factories in question is unique in the world because of using extremely small process for producing ICs.

However, things are not as painted by MSM on that matter.

Look, only tiny percent of ICs really require top resolution process. It is RAM, flash, top processors and high-end GPU. But they are not only just insignificant part of total IC manufacturing, but really is not needed at all for any regular thing you could think about.

This hype about all that 7-5nm process if nothing more than a hype.

The need for top processors, enormous amount of memory or superior GPU is driven purely by ineffective software overbloated with modern bloatware frameworks and overall programming paradigm that prevail in corporate sector.

You don't need them at all for any of your needs. 10-year old computers/notebooks/phones are perfectly useable today with apropriate soft. You will never notice any difference between doing regular tasks on 10-year old notebook and modern one.

So, there is no any real need for all that 5nm processors and tons of RAM. There is need for optimising current software, not new ICs.

Also, high resolution process have significant drawbacks. Smaller elements on crystal means lower reliability and higher sensitivity to different fluctuations from thermal to natural radiation. It adds instability and shorten liftime. For those making profit from selling same shit again and again to the same customer it is very profitable, but that's all. Customer don't really need any top hardware, he need hardware that do what customer want.

Moreover - most sophisticated industries use pretty large process, and more reliability and protection from environment is necessary, larger process is used.

Then why there is all that hype about TSMC and other Taiwan factories? I think it is from one side an attempt to keep industry of crap running, producing less and less reliable hardware along with forcing customer to buy more and more of it by pushing bloatware that utilise all that unnecessary resources of new hardware, and partially an attempt to have hardware suitable for all their "AI" crap with BigData (which is really bloatware too, and could be perfectly run on much older hardware with little optimisation).

What will happen in case of troubles in Taiwan? Absolutely nothing. Moreover, there will be a chance that software manufacturers finally will be forced to start optimising their bloatware and make it something decent. Overall I think TPTB fucked up with that artificail nanometers race and attempts to establish world monopoly. They will not achieve that monopoly and control, either because they will fuck up with that high-tech factories (there was even voiced a plan to destroy TSMC factories in case of China-Taiwan reunion), either because customers will turn to cheaper and more reliable solutions.

So, don't rush to buy a new notebook/smartphone instead of old one. With high probability there will "suddenly" appear software that will be perfectly fine with your outdated hardware.
