Multiple prediction markets on Manifold indicate low probability that SMIC will outcompete TSMC in advanced semiconductor manufacturing by 2024 (4.61%) or 2028 (15.39%), and only 11% chance of achieving 3nm before 2026 (source 1, source 2, source 3, source 4). Additionally, a 55.85% probability that key talent Liang Mong-Song may leave SMIC within 5 years (source 5). These aggregated market signals suggest widening technology gap, potential talent retention issues, and diminished competitive position for SMIC relative to TSMC and the broader leading-edge foundry ecosystem.
