CTOnews.com, June 24, according to the Central News Agency, the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce said today that the Arizona State Capital is committed to water resources planning and will provide water security for TSMC's American plants.

▲ source: TSMC reported that Chris Camacho, president of the Chamber of Commerce in Greater Phoenix, Arizona, said that the water consumption in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area in Arizona was the same as in 1957, and the population increased sixfold during this period, but the water consumption remained at the same level. Camacho said frankly that if TSMC is interested in building more fabs in Arizona, the Arizona state capital will continue to provide water security for TSMC.

▲ source: Intel Camacho further said that although Arizona is located in the Midwest, manufacturing accounts for only 5% of Arizona's total water allocation, so there is still a lot of water available for potential semiconductor investors.

▲ source: Intel CTOnews.com also noted that the report quoted Kirkland Capital Chairman Yang Yingchao as saying that compared with Intel's previous construction, the periphery of the TSMC plant is much quieter. But given the current downturn in global semiconductors, slowing down is not a bad thing. In addition, Yang Yingchao also pointed out that TSMC still faces severe challenges in competing with Intel for hydropower resources in Arizona.

▲ source: according to Intel, TSMC announced a semiconductor factory in Arizona last year. The first phase of the project is expected to start mass production in 2024, and the 4 nm process will be introduced. The second phase of the project is being planned and 3 nm process is expected to be introduced. TSMC will invest $40 billion (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 287.6 billion yuan), which is also one of the largest foreign direct investment projects in US history, and has attracted a lot of attention.
