TSMC (Remastered)

And for TSMC, it meant an initial investment of $9 billion, fabs are expensive to build, and devoting 6,000 employees to building a dedicated plant for Apple in just 11 months. It took several years before it even began producing the chips. So that was in 2010. And then I think 2012 was the launch of the A4, designed by Apple, built on the PA semi-acquisition, and of course fabbed by TSMC.
