Even decades ago, Texas Instruments was having chips made outside the US.
“Texas Instruments selects Sherman for potential $30 billion semiconductor chipmaking campus”
Maybe what you said was true but now chip making companies in the US seem to be second in line for Government $$$ support for chip makers. L
Looks to me why some of their chip making was done overseas was because they bought out the companies that were actually owned by overseas companies like Spansio nand SMIC.
