chip wars
Processor supremacy battles
Chip wars refers to the geopolitical and economic competition over semiconductor technology—the microchips that power computers, phones, and advanced weapons systems.
The term emerged in the 2020s as the United States and China escalated restrictions on chip manufacturing, exports, and talent.
The chip wars could reshape global supply chains for decades.
The struggle centers on who controls the most advanced fabrication technology and the raw materials required to produce it.
