The way it's written in English it has to refer to production speed. The context is also about economics.

"Make thing as fast as" = "make" is fast. Versus "Make thing that is as fast as" = now the thing is fast. Or use a word like performant which is less ambiguous and would obviously refer to the chips.

Can rephrase slightly and it's even more obvious: "I make chips faster than you". Or, "I make chips that are faster than yours".
