Ok, I misunderstood what you meant. I thought you meant license access to the foundry, like TSMC does. What you're proposing is that the US stand up a semiconductor fab that can compete with Intel. That's going to be hard! I think "use Intel technology" is a lot less practical than it might seem. After all, Intel uses ASML technology, and anyone with enough money can buy the machinery (as long as they're not based in China). Intel manufacturing tech is the sum total of all the skill and expertise of Intel's employees.
