TSMC builds only 25K/month 5nm megafab in Arizona. I suspect that it's mainly for serving the US defense needs.

TSMC's GIGAFABs (> 100K/month) are used for mass manufacturing bleeding edge consumer electronics. They are still build only in Taiwan.

TSMC's plans for Arizona have been increased to start with 100k per month with future phases up to 200k [1]

Another way of looking at TSMC's Arizona fab is similar FAB 68 in Dalian, which still seems to have largely been built for strategic relationship building purposes.
