The Complete Semiconductor Ecosystem - From Transistors to AI

NVIDIA doesn't make chips. Apple doesn't make chips. Google doesn't make chips. Almost all of the world's advanced AI silicon is made by one company, in one country, using machines that only one other company in the world can build, with optics made by one more company in Germany. This video explains that entire chain, from the physics of a transistor to the geopolitics of a foundry. If you watched part one and wanted to go deeper, this is that video.
