BREAKING: An insider source is claiming that China, particularly Huawei, has found a means to achieve Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography by 2023, the chip making technology the US has sought to stop the country acquiring.— The Chollima Report (@ChollimaOrg) December 29, 2021
ASML is a Dutch company. They don’t manufacture chips, they manufacture the production tools that manufacture chips for customers like Intel, Samsung, etc.
The machines are incredibly complicated too, which is why support from the manufacturer could indeed be a factor in keeping things running. It's a very solvable problem, though, especially if the government or company are willing to fund the development well enough to train a large staff of support engineers.
first reply is some PMC shitstain jerking off over whether will they provide the same quality customer service as ASML
:pathetic:
That's some delicious copeium.
Every corporation on earth: "why shouldn't we just buy China's chips if they're cheaper?"
American PMC's: "they don't have our quality customer service..."
Every corporation on earth: "LOL. LMAO."
