#tsmc #intel #chipwar Why are TSMC, Intel, and Samsung all racing to build the same transistor — one that almost nobody is talking about? At 2 nanometers, physics hits a hard wall. Gate-All-Around transistors — the technology every major chipmaker bet on — are running out of room. And the entire future of AI computing, defense systems, and semiconductor manufacturing depends on what comes next. The answer didn't come from Silicon Valley. It didn't come from Taiwan or South Korea. It came from a quiet research lab in Leuven, Belgium — a place called imec. And the transistor they developed, called Forksheet, is now on the long-term roadmap of every major fab on Earth. In this video, we break down: → Why Gate-All-Around transistors are already hitting their physical limit → What Forksheet is — and why it delivers a 20% density gain at sub-2nm → The $380M machine (built by ASML) that makes all of this possible → Why TSMC, Intel, and Samsung cannot afford to miss this node → What
