TSMC's new U.S. plant is unlikely to get the most advanced chip technology before factories in Taiwan due to complex compliance issues, local construction regulations and various permitting requirements,

Taiwan computer chip maker TSMC reported Thursday that its profit in the last quarter rose 57%, buoyed by the artificial intelligence boom. The world’s biggest semiconductor manufacturer reported a net profit of 374.

The Taiwanese government has lifted restrictions that limited domestic chip manufacturers such as TSMC from producing 2nm chips in foreign fabs. According to a report from Taipei Times, the minister of economic affairs J.W. Kuo told reporters in Taiwan that “those were old rules” and “times have changed.”
