AI workloads are demanding significantly more energy. This likely means that many existing ESG targets are already gone. Regarding the semiconductor industry, Bitcoin ASIC miners are relatively simple machines compared to more complex semiconductor chips. However, they can still serve as a useful testbed for evaluating new chip designs and manufacturing workflows. For example, TSMC's new fabrication facility in Arizona will likely need to undergo a series of fine-tuning and optimization steps to its factory processes before reaching full production capacity. That’s where Bitcoin can be very helpful for this industry. ps> TSMC Arizona Fab -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHat_LYrpQE
