The TSMC Plant in Phoenix Needs A LOT of Power!

Показать описание
TSMC is building a massive semiconductor fabrication facility (fab) in Phoenix.

It's a massive $65B investment but when fully operational it will require 1.2 gigawatts of power.

For context, this is the equivalent of powering roughly 900,000 homes.

Nearby, there is a nuclear plant (Palo Verde) that produces ~ 4 GW.

This means that TSMC will eventually consume over 25% of the power generated from the largest nuclear plant in the USA.

and water consuption seesh. Those 3nm chips better be worth it.

You should be able to power it with a single new nuclear reactor, probably with some extra, and with investment already at 65B adding a reactor there isn't that high percentage increase.

So what I'm hearing is 900k people aren't gonna get electricity for a while

So not even a nuclear power plant is enough to run this thing? I mean it could... but it will be a lot of the powerplant's power

Phoenix? Half of that is AC costs I'm sure.

Or the equivalent to power just 1298 Tesla plaid models (932kW)!

They need a mr. Fusion garbage disposal.

That's definitely a power-plant or 3 building requirement

When they need slightly yet significant in total cost savings to have a low temperature area rather than the hottest place in America?
