Sorry, yes south korea has an amazing industry. Japan too even if it's not the leader it used to be. but even then, last gen chip design is overwhelmingly coming from the US. Apple, AMD, Qualcomm and Intel have the most performant designs by far, so the moat is still definitely present. Taiwan and SK are arguably better in manufacturing the chips right now though I agree.

- andromeduck 6y agoPezy SC was kicking around top500 for a while, Sony domminates imaging sensors, likewise for sending niche medical and electrical stuff.
