Yeah, but from what I’ve been lectured, we get 100% of our, unable to be made in the US, chips from Taiwan. At least enough that it’s worth potentially fighting WWIII over.
We do make chips in the USA.
LOTS of them!
Arizona and Oregon have the largest fabs in the country.
The problem is they are only for Intel.
All the other companies use a “fabless” design methodology.
It is far less expensive than investing in a $4B fab with all the problems that causes.
