Intel Ponte Vecchio GPU Will Be Made on TSMC 6nm Process, CPUs Could Be TSMC 3nm

What would it take to break that monopoly (technology-wise, not politically like eg. the big oil companies were a century ago)?

ASML bet on EUV and finally made it work well enough.

Probably the best way to break that monopoly would be to deny their machines to a largish country that would be willing to fund its own domestic competitor ..... but why on earth would that happen?

Yeah, well, that was my point - the US government's current bad behaviour will just create a stronger competitor - we'll all probably benefit as a result

Convince the fabs to buy more from ASML's sole competitor, which I hear is kept alive just in case.
