TSMC's $8bn Japan chip project steams ahead as U.S. site hits snags

The relatively smooth progress at TSMC's first chipmaking facility in Japan stands in stark contrast to its plant in Arizona, which will eventually churn out ultra-advanced 4-nm chips.
The Kumamoto project was announced in October 2021, construction began in 2022 and mass production is expected next year. Plans for the Arizona facility were unveiled in mid-2020, construction started the following year and yet mass production, which was originally slated to begin in 2024, has been pushed back to 2025.
