No they didn't - the chips are now made in Singapore or Malaysia with Japanese plant. When did you last see a US mask stepper?
GM make a car as good as a Toyota? I think their current goal is to make a car as good as a Fiat.
- ghc 16y agoThat's odd, I seem to recall Intel, AMD and IBM having major chip fabs in the US, Germany and Israel. Or are you talking about something different (I don't know much about mask steppers)?
- stonemetal 16y agoFrom the Wikipedia page on the Cell processor(As seen in every PS3 made by Sony.) So chips get designed and built in the US. The architectural design and first implementation were carried out at the STI Design Center in Austin, Texas In March 2007 IBM announced that the 65 nm version of Cell BE is in production at its plant in East Fishkill, New York
- rubashov 16y agoThere's a substantial amount of semiconductor plant still in the states. There's a huge Micron plant not far from me right now. The quality and reliability surveys over the last eight years or so are not favorable to Toyota. US made cars are as good as any other, and the German brands have actually slipped a lot.
