A lot come from US fabs!
People here are talking like Intel fabs have all ceased to exist or something. They haven't. It's really Europe that needs to panic about China/Taiwan (where there are NO firms that can manufacture semiconductors at scale), but, they aren't of course.
- sct202 6y agoIntel has fabs but they don't make anything except Intel products. They tried a few years ago to set up a contract foundry business, but it didn't work out despite signing some big deals initially (Nokia).
- thu2111 6y agoNo, but if TSMC was destroyed in a war or captured by the PRC, then suddenly their fabs would be a lot more attractive for contract fab users.
