We can definitely offer subsidies for manufacturing in the US - we've already gotten TSMC to open several fabs.

  And it’s still owned by a foreign country and Taiwan is restricting TSMC from manufacturing their most advanced processors from being manufactured in the US. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/taiwans-government-strengthens-silicon-shield-restricts-exports-of-tsmcs-most-advanced-process-technologies https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/ta...

    Same as the US is restricting sale of Nvidia chips to China.

    this is not to say that intel will be manufacturing competitive chips to what TSMC is. are you worried that china will invade taiwan, and then somehow taiwan will still be around to prevent the US fabs from making the best chips? its a bit far fetched

      If Intel isn’t manufacturing chips, what US manufacturer comes close? You can’t just build a close to leading edge manufacturing facility in a month

      it's not like the technology to produce these chips are a drop-in replacement the threat Taiwan faces is existential, and one of the only things that the US has at stake are these chips

  > We can definitely offer subsidies for manufacturing in the US The very subsidies Intel now has to pay with shares for? How is that a subsidy? Companies now and in the future would be very concerned before taking any US subsidies because the terms can always change after the fact.

    Are we so sure Intel sees this as a bad thing? The US now has even more reason to prop them up.
    • re-thc 1y ago
      Yes, does it matter if there are more reasons? If you want to do something, 1 is enough. The rest are excuses.
