GlobalFoundries is more global, but there's only one fab in China.
A previous employer was a semiconductor company, and it was pretty clear that the high-tech fabs had to run in the US, and that only the older generations could be moved offshore.
- Cyph0n 9y agoYour comment is very misleading. Intel's state of the art fabs are for Intel use only and are NOT accessible to fabless companies. Once you take this into account, fabless US companies who want to fabricate their chips at modern technology nodes need to either use GlobalFoundries or TSMC. GF has a large fab in NY I believe, but the company itself is owned by the UAE. The vast majority of non-Intel fabs are concentrated in Taiwan, SK, and to a lesser extent, Singapore.
- kevin_b_er 9y agoYou've conveniently linked Intel's chip fab plants where as your parent poster said nothing about Intel. Here's a list of chip fabs beyond just Intel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_semiconductor_fabrication_plants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_semiconductor_fabricat...
