I'm incredulous that they only just realized it was a waste of money. Something changed. Either they only built it to get U.S. subsidies, or somerhing the current administration did killed demand. Which is it? I suspect it's the second option.

Buyers know tsmc is reliable and already up and running. Making a large order of needed chips out of a factory that is incomplete, doesn't have the required staff, may have issues finding the staff, and has already had to attempt retrofitting in an entirely new processing and equipment line for 2nm nodes while Samsung has been having issues at their other plants with qc, while the plant has already had delays in opening seems like a very risky move. I wouldn't want to order anything through them I needed before the plant was up and running, and shown to actually produce good chips.
Upon reading the whole thing, it seems Samsung failed to plan for the obvious, as TSMC is doing just fine in the U.S. with the same tech.
Maybe it's all the flooding.
Maybe it's the fascism.
Maybe it’s Maybelline?
Nobody wants to chip!
