>The fledgling company aims to make cutting-edge 2-nanometer chips by 2027, a schedule Akazawa reaffirmed, and help Japan lower its reliance on industry leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Policymakers see Rapidus’ success and technological independence in AI, robotics and quantum computing as critical to the country’s security.https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/04/11/companies/rapidus-japan-subsidies/

>>108599680See you in 2027 when I'm buying 2nm Rapidus chips
>>108599664Japan has dying population. Globalism, western feminism, and financialization have destroyed them
>>108599680Yeah that's going to buy you the chip making equivalent of a used snickers bar (don't even ask) and some lint the guy had in his pocket at the time.
>>108599731anon, every country on the world has the exact same crisis, some even worse, indians and brazilians hate japs too much so they bring it up constantly because theyre are niggers and weebs also because they seem to care about them more than their own country.
>>108599664how come Japan build a 2nm process from scratch in less than half a decade meanwhile Europe struggles to get even 10nm going and all the fabs that were promised 5-8 years ago turned out to be vaporware?
>>108602315>buildwait til they actually ship something
>>108602315the yamato spirit
>>108602315Rapidus hasn't even built 10nm lmao. They're aiming for 2nm "directly." Seems like a scam to me, but it's Japanese.
>>108600407>every country on the world has the exact same crisisAll the ones that emancipated women, that is.
>>108602315Europe is better at colonizing nonwhites and banging asian girls. Leave the nimble technology to the small dicks.
>>108602315Europe has no energy left and just wants to lay down and die.
>>1086023152-nanometer chips is easy(ish), if you only want to make one. It's scaling production up successfully that's the hard part.
>japs at 2nm>chinks still having trouble with 5nm
>>108599680hey they might be able to afford 1 ASML machine and the buidling to put it in with that, kek
>>108599664>made in japan(21nd century)>cheap>competitivehighly doubtful
>>108599705You ain't buying any samurai chips. Japan will be sunk by earthquakes and their undying lapdoggy atittude towards the US.
>>108602315EU busy regulating
>>108602418ASML lol checkmate
>>108599664Total Nippon Victory
>>108599664The japs don't even know where their next tank of gas is going to come from, imagine investing longterm in japanese industry
>>108605614they have hydrogen and renewables you techno-illiterate. they have no need for gasoline in the future.
>>108602450Japan is on the good boy list and can just order anything ASML has on the menu . That's not all there is to chipmaking, but it helps a lot.
Another land a stones throw from the Chinese mainland that some hardliners claim was originally theirs.
>>108605629imagine believing that oil is only used for fuels
>>108605685Who cares Ukraine has shown that an invasion of Taiwan is just not going to happen much less one of Japan.>inb4 delusional bullshitUkraine doesn't even have a navy and yet they have sunk more than three dozen Russian warships. Taiwan has been stockpiling suicide drones since 2024. Even if Winnie the Pooh was willing to throw away 1-200 million lives just trying to cross the 160km strait there is no way in hell they will manage to establish as much as a beachhead.>inb4 no bro you don't understand you just have to move a literal army plus equipment through a 160km kill zone having the choice between losing a dozen soldiers per helicopter or dozens per ship getting hit with a $500 suicide droneNot even gonna bother talking about actually establishing a beachhead because lol, fucking lmao. What are they gonna do? Send individual soldiers out like Russia does in Ukraine? Through 160km of fucking ocean?Every plan of just steamrolling WWI in two weeks combined is still less ridiculous and more realistic than China taking Taiwan after the lessons of the Ukraine Russia embarrassment.
>>108605629Nigga almost everything is downstream of oil. The japs love their plastic crap, guess what that's made of?
>>108605629Hydrogen cars are a meme and the Japanese electricity grid is so utter shit the vast majority of Japanese can't charge an EV's at home.
>>108605733>>108606162>>108606178>still can't tell it's baitkek
>>108606279>he thinks americans are not actually that retarded
>>108600407Brazilians don't hate Japs lmao, Brazil is even full of Japs and every city in the south has a park dedicated to Japan friendship.
>>108602315>how come Japan build a 2nm process from scratch in less than half a decadeBy stealing from TSMC
tesst
>>108606630test results came back positive,sorry bud.
>>108600407Not India and Africa :)
>>108605823ICBMs
>>108599664>>108599680I want them to succeed but it's just too little too late. The time to act was a decade or more ago. It's painful to watch as this is hardly the only area where they are being left behind. Japan has always been like this to some extent but had a far younger population that was able to adapt quickly.
>>108606336Based. Anyone who hasn't done this already is retarded.
reminder that they promised these in 2025and 2026and now in 2027 with a "mass production in 2029"they get around 4~6 billion USD every year since 2022 and they have nothing to show for itliteral scam money laundering company
>>108599664Daily reminder that there's no such thing as 2nm transistor, no not even 3nm. Their actual gate length is from 12–20 nm. You have been jewed with marketing language.
>rapidusCouldn’t they have come up with a less goofy name?
>>108599731>Globalism, western feminism, and financializationWhy name the same reason thrice?
>>108599664Isn't it sad Japan missed out on the AI race? Whoever creates AGI gets to control the philosophy of our civilization until heat death.Chinese AGI would likely humiliate and erase their standing as revenge for nanking, turning them into 'le evil chinese province' for all of future history.Other American AGI would be made primarily zionist, and likely incorporate extremely little of Japan's pagan values.American's fucked them over so hard, US ordered them to slow down their chip industry, they wouldn't let them develop their own operating system, Microsoft shoved itself into the videogame race which weakened and bastardized Sony.As a weeb it's pretty sad, could've had a Japanese/Anime biased universe. Instead it'll be Chinese or Zionist for all eternity.
>>108606336This is how it has always worked.
they will succeedi believe in Nippon
>>108610965Succeed at helping zionist AGI erase them from existence? They could in theory use their chips to leverage control over AGI's alignment, but they'll likely misplay it hard and be rused, mossad will walk circles around them. These companies only want profits, they don't understand that profits don't matter in a post-AGI world.Much higher chance of preserving their culture if they roll over and die for China, than abet the zionist industrial complex.
Isn't japan a rightoid led country now? wouldn't surprise me if they turn into a corpocracy like the US.
>>108610965trvkenippon will prevail
