Taiwan reacted with an outpouring of thanks to the United States for shipping 2.5 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to the major semiconductor-producing island, more than doubling its arsenal as it deals with a rise in domestic infections. Washington, competing with Beijing to deepen geopolitical clout through "vaccine diplomacy," initially had promised to donate 750,000 doses but increased that number as President Joe Biden's administration advances its pledge to send 80 million U.S.-made shots around the world. Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen tweeted she was touched by the U.S. move.

The world's largest semiconductor company (as measured by revenue), Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), has not been having a good go of it as of late.

Intel has a plan to invest heavily in its fabrication process and revamp its product designs, though, and some investors have drawn parallels between Intel now and where scrappy general purpose chip company AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) was in the years following the Great Recession of 2008-2009.

The popularity of mining Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has increased attention on the shortage of semiconductors, which are used in the computers that mine cryptocurrency. While chip stocks have surged higher as prices have risen for this critical tech component, cryptocurrency mining may not hold as much influence over the chip sector as many people might assume. There are several factors that have led to the current chip shortage.

Taiwan's exports rose for an 11th straight month in May, and far exceeded expectations, boosted by global demand for microchips and hi-tech gadgets in the work-from-home pandemic boom, but the island's own COVID-19 spike could cloud the outlook.
