There’s always lots that CAN be done. But rarely SHOULD any of it be done.

If you want to develop chip making here then stop protecting the company that’s fallen behind. All that does is make it harder for a new company to show up. This actually impedes sinking money and effort into R&D because now investors would be silly to invest in competition against Intel.

And let’s keep in mind Intel’s biggest competition is AMD, headquartered in Santa Clara with major production in Austin. If you want to fluff a company to keep America competitive THAT’S the company to fluff. They’re American and they’re better.

AMD doesn’t manufacture it’s own chips.

TSMC does.

Intel has US owned fabs.

AMD designs but doesn’t manufacture chips, it outsources to Taiwan.
