Germany needs CPUs for the industry. Cars, machines, planes, wind turbines and so on :)
But you cannot build Personal-Computers with them? That failure is caused by Siemens (Siemens-Nixdorf) and AEG. In GDR/DDR they were close to build a 386 compatible CPU. The remaining knowledge is still somewhat available, Global Foundries in Dresden.
But the CPUs for PC? Yes. Yes. Okay. Intel will build a Fab there, too ;)
