Not sure if analysts and estimates already take this into account, but if not, $10 Bn in CHIPS subsidies over next 4 years would change IRR significantly. Just messing around

Just did a similar write up on the state of silicon

Would love your thoughts!

The 70% figure for a hypothetical Nvidia and TSMC IDM's gross margin makes sense if you average their respective margins and weight by market cap. $2T * 0.75 + $500B*0.53 / ($2.5T) = 71%

Not sure if that's a fair way to calculate it though. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
