“What happens to the stock value of other US chip manufacturers like AMD, XiLinx, and Texas Instruments?”
Please people, stop confusing chip *design* with chip *manufacture*. Most companies that offer computer chips do not themselves manufacture the physical objects they sell. (That requires a far greater capital investment than most of these companies can possibly afford.)
AMD does not manufacture their own chips.
Xilinx uses/used TSMC to manufacture (some of?) their chips. Also Xlinx was acquired by AMD in 2023.
Texas Instruments does *manufacture* chips as well as *design* them. They started out as a semiconductor company, and do analog as well as digital chips. Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit while at TI — and received the Nobel Prize in physics in 2000. TI built the first transistor radio, built a speech synthesis chip, invented the handheld calculator and the single chip microprocessor. (The latter about the same time as Intel, but Intel went on the specialize in CPUs, while TI remains more general.)
and just who are you to be a rep of any thing concervative, you being a loosertarian. no one has heard of this X author.
