What is TI's percentage of revenue from chips manufactured in third party fabs (TSMC, ASMC, ...)? Are these jobs really relocating to elsewhere in Texas, it moving to China/Taiwan?

  > What is TI's percentage of revenue from chips manufactured in third party fabs (TSMC, ASMC, ...)? As far as I know, 0%. There might be some legacy stuff from National, though. > Are these jobs really relocating to elsewhere in Texas, it moving to China/Taiwan? Are you saying TI is lying? They explicitly said anyone retained would go to another North Texas fab. Based on the stated closing window I'd wager that at least one of the fab closings will coincide with the opening of the new Richardson fab. Also, TI owns fabs in China, so if anything moved there it would still be in-house.
