    There are no newer, or any other machines at the level of the tsmc plant. They cost multiple billions for each production line and require parts that take ages to produce (like zeiss mirrors for millions a piece)

      It’s not that bad actually. The various mirrors are just some of the most important components. But it’s not the gating item.
