My understanding is that the US has the most advanced chip making capabilities in the world and is unmatched by anyone. Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm.
Is that not true? Does the US constitute only 13% of world chip making because most chips sold are cheap, low powered chips? And if that is the case, does it really matter that we aren't making the cheap stuff?
- akmittal 5y agoAMD,Nvidia and Qualcomm chips are made in Taiwan/Korea. For future Intel also is moving to TSMC Taiwan. These chips are not cheap by anyway, US has lost advanced chipmaking ground
- tooltalk 5y agoIf it's any consolation, it's not as bad as Japan. They at one point had all the top players in the business -- now hardly anyone recognizes their name.
- humanistbot 5y agoChip design != chip manufacturing. Qualcomm, Broadcomm, Nvidia, and AMD are all so-called "fabless" manufacturers, meaning that they design the chips and then send their designs to fabs like TSMC. Intel is the big exception.
