TSMC and Samsung Dominate ASIC Supply Chains
Is the Concentrated Semiconductor Foundry Market a Concern?
Bitcoin mining relies heavily on specialized hardware known as Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) miners. The production of these ASICs is tied to the global semiconductor industry. The manufacturing of advanced chip wafers is largely concentrated in the hands of a few powerful foundries. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) a…
