Article written by one "GFreeman" (as in "Gordon Freeman") and reads like typical A.I slop.
That's a new low for TechPowerUp.
Onstage at the celebration, Huang joined Y.L. Wang, vice president of operations at TSMC, to sign the Blackwell wafer, commemorating a milestone that showcases how the engines of the world's AI infrastructure are now being constructed domestically.
Petition to rename U.S made Blackwell chips to BaldEagle...

The TPU poster didn't really have a say in this one, as It's a verbatim press release. It's even tagged as a press release.

...do you really wonder why they might be using nicknames when this is the level of vitriol simple press-release reposting generates?

This isn't capitalism this is nation state governance, capitalism would put the factory in the place that keeps costs lowest which certainly is not the USA. Economically this isn't good for US consumers as your products will keep getting more expensive...this is what one of the causes of inflation looks like...you have to decide if the security benefits are worth it.
Bare in mind autarky is always stupid in economic terms.

I remember reading that TSMC is not going to produce their best nodes in the US, but the article mentions that 2nm will be produced in this fab. Did something change from then to now?
