How much does it cost to build a chip-manufacturing plant these days? North of $5 billion. And in order to run those efficiently and pay for them, you need to have $8 billion to $10 billion of annual revenue out of that factory at a reasonable margin to pay for it. There are fewer of them being built, and fewer people can build them. You're dealing with levels of purity of chemicals and air and precision and in temperature and in rinse and in everything that's involved in the manufacturing process that have never been invented before.
