1 company most people never talk about powers the entire chip industry 😳

Carl Zeiss makes the extreme-precision mirrors and lenses inside ASML’s EUV machines.

Without them, the world’s most advanced chips simply cannot be manufactured.

▫️ 80 percent of all chips use Zeiss optics

▫️ 100 percent of the most powerful chips depend on Zeiss components

▫️ Nvidia, AMD, Apple, Intel… all rely on this single German firm

Zeiss is foundation-owned. It has been quietly perfecting optical engineering for more than a century. And today, the entire AI hardware stack sits on its ability to manufacture mirrors with atomic-level precision.

We talk a lot about ASML, TSMC, and Nvidia.

But maybe the most irreplaceable link in the chain is Zeiss.

How many people knew this?
