    Untrue. TSMC is just building a state of the art chip factory in Dresden, and they are certainly using ASML.

      That fab unfortunately seems to be quite far from state of the art at 12 nm feature size.

        Uh, so they are lying to us constantly. First the said the new BOSCH fab in Dresden is for AI, with 28nm - ha!

          Can you share any official communication where somebody claimed this fab was for AI?

          It was pretty clear that this fab - much like the other Bosch facilities - is going to be for automotive and industry ICs, not for high end node sizes in CPUs or GPUs.
