It's simply not cost effective to manufacture advanced semiconductors at scale in the USA. No company, not Intel, not TI, not GlobalFoundries not even TSMC is clever enough to overcome this.

Now, if there are other reasons to do this like for defense or supply chain security, that's a different story. But it will cost you.

Knowing these facts changes your perspective on these semis-in-the-USA news headlines.



You know some are already made in the US, right?

Intel makes something like 50% - 75% of theirs in the US.


And look what is happening to Intel


Do you have any evidence that it is the location of their fabs rather than all of the other issues they have?
