A real, graph-based simulation — not a prediction — of who's exposed downstream in the world's advanced-chip supply chain.
This scenario, like every scenario in the X-Ray tool, doesn't try to predict whether or when a crisis like this would happen. It takes the real map of who depends on TSMC's advanced-chip manufacturing and shows what happens downstream in the graph if that link simply disappeared — a tool for thinking about concentration risk, not a tool for forecasting geopolitical events.
TSMC actually manufactures the vast majority of the world's most advanced chips, including for companies that design their own chips but don't manufacture them (a common 'fabless' industry model). That means concentration in physical manufacturing — not just design — is the real weak point.
Chip-design companies that depend on TSMC for actual manufacturing are exposed directly and almost immediately. Further layers downstream — from device makers to cloud providers running infrastructure on top of those same chips — are exposed indirectly, with a lag, and to a degree that depends on how much of a realistic manufacturing alternative they have.
The full simulation, with the real structural map, is available on StockIQ's X-Ray page under the 'Taiwan Strait Crisis' scenario — including the list of companies exposed and their exact degree of dependency, not just a general description.
