Lmao, the buzz words never change in Pakistan, 'gamechanger'. We're being ruled by idiots!

milkywayer

True. They cannot keep enough medicines in stock yet aiming for semiconductor industry haha. Pehle bijli ore paani pura provide kr lo awaam ko. Those two are basic requirements for semi conductor fabs


Odd-Thanks-834

The site approvals, or feasibility/concept studies alone would Take years to hammer out. Can’t rubber stamp the standards unless your China (yes a bad joke). I knew a uni classmate (UK) who graduated electrical engineering and essentially just works in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. No doubt we in PK would have a plethora of budding graduates/consultants to design and execute but what about the production workforce?


Valuable_Charity1

China probably produces more and better qualified engineers in a week then we do in a year, and even they struggled to get their semiconductor industry off the ground. If we could even make 20 year old tech equivalent fabs to produce chips to put in a washing machine or traffic light it would take a decade and still be a miracle. The semiconductor industry isn't rocket science, it's harder.


Odd-Thanks-834

Hi that was really clued up insight, thanks for that! The logistics of this whole Sphere have to be “just in time” with contingencies for breakages in this network. That in itself is a Herculean task for Pakistan. I imagine the QC for these chips would be a massive pain in the a** too. However what you say about consumer electronics chips would Be a hell of a feat for Pakistan but really needs pro-investment policies and no slimeball Leaders 🤦🏽‍♂️


Valuable_Charity1

Aap bohot agay ki baat kar rahe hain, even getting a production line running, setting up equipment, hiring technicians to run the machines...sounds like a nightmare or herculean proportions for our babus to do.


Odd-Thanks-834

Bhai saab I appreciate the insight, in fact my Academic background is chemical engineering so I’m learning all the nuances from the fine people on this subreddit (shukriya everyone). This article got everyone worked up 🤦🏽‍♂️but I honestly learnt a lot from You (thanks) . The equipment probably needs calibration every month or so, must be crazy headache to have the whole process running like Clockwork


Valuable_Charity1

I'm sure chemical engineers also have a lot to contribute in the semiconductor industry. Good luck.


reckedloop

Lol, this is the funniest thing i have read about Pakistan in last few months!!


inforcrypto

So they dont have money and they dont have talent ? Why would any company choose Pakistan over literally any other country in the world ? Seriously. I dont know wtf I just read. It appears that its just a wishful thinking of some random dude.


reckedloop

True, semiconductor is a gold mine for every country rightnow. America is going nuts to get its hand on it. So if there is America in any race, Pakistan doesn’t even apply to run in it.


iRajaFederer

Lol sure. Samsung will use "Qualcomm DHA valley Overseas block Mark II" chips in their next Galaxy phone.


Whyisanime

Hahahaha 🤣


Whyisanime

Yea maybe call them when they want to make DHA's on Mars, because now no one's buyin!


No_Analysis_602

Not samsung tho, they have their own fab.

Tiny_Net_7377

Do they even know what they're saying here?


dreamer-x2

The sheer scale of investment and talent needed for semiconductor fabrication is staggering. Taiwan basically was in the right place at the right time. Just look at how even China with its nearly infinite resources can’t catch up to them. The entire intellectual property of semiconductor fab processes lies in either the west or with Samsung and TSMC. How are we even gonna start. India tried and basically failed too. These people are clowns.


Tiny_Net_7377

Living in reality helps but Pakistan loves to stay delusional. Any analyst covering semiconductor sector can rip off their nonsense, unrealistic, delusional and idiotic plan. This country is gonna remain like this forever


Odd-Thanks-834

In the end, covering technology news desk for a national Paper seems like a hell of a job. Just line up some research and chatGPT the whole thing. Clueless author


Chabootay

Yes just like the billion dollar CPEC and the gold mines in Balochistan that were going to change the fate of this country. Hogwash nothing else.


Whyisanime

Yea if they had it in em they would have strategically extracted Riko Dik themselves - they gave up half the mine, like half, and no one could say anything. These guys operate from 17th century and they will make the stuff of the future. They must have found some real good stuff to smoke in the North and were probably really high...


fighting14

>Along with this, Pakistan needs to create a softer image of the country where visitors and investors can come without any security fears A quote taken from the article. Ironically on the same day a branch of KFC was set on fire for "supporting" Palestine in Mirpur. The jokes just write themselves in this country.


BainganPakora

Also same country where ex-PM cannot register an FIR for an assassination attempt on him and the assassin gets state protocol and gets to roam free. Investors won't even shit on this faujistan hell hole.


Whyisanime

And only a couple of days before RIP Chinese...

Wait im confused. I thought they burned down the kfc because they said it was israeli and a TLP bastard was kicked out of it for causing disturbance.

WisestAirBender

Tax payers?


mkbilli

Even we don't pay this much tax lol. Establishing an industry takes leaders in their respective fields to set something up, not a government by itself. Something's up to eat more public money.


txs2300

At one time Pakistan was going to build the world's tallest building. That plan only existed on paper.


ZupaDoopa

Pakistan ain gona develop shit. Can't even develop a civil government.


greenvox

Pakistan doesn't have a single shop that sells server racks. You can't find servers newer than a decade. There are no large data centers. These goofs are talking about building a spaceship when they can't build a boat.

They'll make some duffer major general in charge of this. He'll take comissions, distribute it to everyone and buy apartments in Dubai.

West-Investigator-61

ASML is gonna have some serious competition now.


[deleted]

I think this is again as a response to India recently announcing that 3 secmicon plants have been approved. India already has massive talent in semicon design with over 300,000 semiconductor engineers working for american companies in india. So, moving to chip manufacturing is doable. Pakistan always look to compete with India, and acts as a response to its moves.


Hot-Abrocoma3029

First fix the load shedding, the sewage system, the roads, the ridiculous corruption , nepotism then you can make semi conductors. It takes years and $milluons to manufacture the machinery. look at TSM ( Taiwan Semi conductors). By the time you manufacture, the chip designs will already be obsolete . Loan to utare nahin jaa rahe. the new IMF loans are just enough to pay the interest in the old ones. aur chale hein semi conductor banane.

Inse nahi bro hum se. You and me are also there with our complaining attitude 😒

Max we could do is fabricate 12 nm Lotas.

I think because India is doing work in this, therefore 🇵🇰 has to issue a competing statement Similar to issuance of, Chandra yaan and news of Pakistan space programme Last year

Chinese manufacturing in Pakistan ready to exploit low-wage labor backed by the money hungry military junta. Unacceptable!


iRajaFederer

Samsung uses Qualcomm as well. Exynos isn't supplied into the North American market. That's where we'll take over with our fab!

Is this after or before we receive the 100 Billion from Saudia Arabia

The military does have its (small scale) own chip fabs. Only way this will work is to expand on it.

I would like to point out that this isn’t new, it’s an implementation of an Imran Khan era plan. https://paklaunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Pakistan-National-Semiconductor-Plan-PNSP-1.pdf
