A comment on US Says Chinese Seizure of TSMC in Taiwan Would Be 'Absolutely Devastating'. Parent comment
You’d be surprised the volume of chips anywhere from the 10s to thousands of nanometers sold even today
For every bleeding edge CPU there are many larger (and hotter) less crucial chips being sold
If you want to get nitpicky you could consider individual PMOS or NMOS transistors as 10 to 20 million nm single transistor chips (or 1-2cms)
It’s exactly the same process after all!
