Discussing Tariffs, TSMC-Intel Ventures, AMD, Nvidia w/ Hoeg Law (Guest Telegrams)
🕑 Added 2025-04-12 01:27:12 +0000 UTCThe next episode of Broken Silicon will see us be joined by Hoeg Law once again! Richard is a Business Lawyer, and therefore is more than happy to answer any and all questions having to do with Tariffs! However, he is also an avid gamer and has a lot to say about anything involving the consoles or semiconductors - so feel free to ask him anything! Might I remind you all that this is a rare opportunity to ask some very unique questions...so don't miss this opportunity! At a minimum though, we plan to discuss:
Tariffs - which products will be most affected, and the legality of how they were instituted.
How easy tariffs will be to get around.
How realistic a joint venture between Intel and TSMC, is.
Qualcomm vs TSMC Lawsuits
Nintendo Switch 2
PS5 Pro
The Future of XBOX

Hi, How does the law typically decide what the value of a product is while calculating Tariffs. Production, distribution, retail, and profit all are pieces of the pie and how much of the pie will be taxed maters.

Will companies get cutsie with importing by trying to obscure countries of origin and import mostly chinese goods through other less restricted markets?

Hello, hope you both are well. From a legal standpoint, I wanted your opinion on Nvidia’s approach to the 12VHPWR connector, as it is clearly a fire hazard, which multiple 40 and 50 series customers have come forward to show; Derbaur, Gamers Nexus, Jayztwocents and multiple other YouTubers have made great videos to showcase the issue. My first question would be how there hasn’t there been a lawsuit against Nvidia regarding the connector due to the cable burning, especially regarding the 5090 and RTX 6000 Pro which can easily pull over the 575w and 600w respectively with a connector rated for 600w. My second question is, why there isn’t strong mandates on technology and cables? A cable such as the 12VHPWR shouldn’t have been allowed to continue being made with the way it was designed since the 40 series.

Will companies absorb any of the cost of the tariffs?
