President Donald Trump says he's imposing a 100% tariff on computer chips— a move that raises the specter of higher prices for electronics, autos, household appliances and other essential goods that depend on the processors.
He will exempt companies who makes chips in the US - as long as they make some of them in the US, their imports are exempt from the tariff. A quick glance says major chip makers (Intel, AMD, Nvidia) have some production facilities in the US.
Yikes, that would make cpu’s as expensive as gpu’s, and gpu’s, well, unaffordable altogether.

I guess that means those cheap SoC boxes we’ve been seeing all over are gonna double in price.
Some, but they’re fabbed by TSMC which he’s trying to strongarm into buying a 49% stake in Intel.
