Do you know how these work?

I don’t, but I have always guessed that the chip game needs to be looked as two separate games - fast chips and slow chips. Cars mostly need slow chips unless you want to do something fancy like self-driving cars.

America has a monopoly on fast chips, these are high margin and others can’t copy them, but cars don’t need a lot of these fast chips. They need low margin slow chips.
