Russia Hits Hobbled Chip Market, Limiting Export Of Noble Gases
“This will give us some competitive advantage if it is necessary to build mutually beneficial negotiations”
Russia — 33% of world supply (gases used to produce semiconductor chips – used in almost everything these days)
Ukraine — 50% of world supply (totally off-line due to war)
Other — 17%
Also note — Taiwan manufactures 50% of “advanced capability” chips (for future reference)
