According to @StockMKTNewz, a new video offers a deep dive on ASML’s lithography machines and how they enable the world’s most advanced semiconductors. According to ASML company materials, ASML is the sole supplier of EUV lithography systems used to manufacture sub-7nm logic at leading foundries including TSMC, Samsung, and Intel, making its tool shipments a direct driver of advanced-node capacity. According to ASML technology disclosures, EUV is essential for the N5/N4 class of processes that underpin cutting-edge CPUs and GPUs, which ties tool availability to downstream chip output. According to ASML and Intel statements, ASML shipped the first High-NA EUV system to Intel in 2023, and ASML positions High-NA (EXE series) to enable future 2nm-class nodes, a catalyst traders watch for node transitions and capital spending cycles at top customers. According to the Netherlands government and ASML company statements, export controls introduced in 2023 and subsequent U.S.-driven license actions in early 2024 restrict certain advanced DUV/EUV shipments to China, creating regional revenue mix risk and order timing volatility. According to Nvidia, the H100 accelerator is built on TSMC’s 4N (5nm-class) process, and according to TSMC technology briefs, the N5/N4 family extensively uses EUV, linking ASML’s EUV throughput to AI GPU supply and high-performance computing buildouts. According to the Ethereum Foundation, Ethereum’s 2022 Merge ended mainstream GPU mining, so any crypto market impact from AI GPU supply is now indirect and largely narrative-driven around blockchain compute rather than direct mining demand.
