Until they are built, it's all talk. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/21/foxconn-mostly-abandons-10-billion-wisconsin-project-touted-by-trump.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/21/foxconn-mostly-abandons-10-b...

  They are built, at least one in Phoenix: > As of 2025, the first fab has been completed and is producing four-nanometer (nm) chips.

    One is built, OP said 10.

      Gotta start somewhere. Plus foxconn only abandoned 1 DC build out during Covid, a bit different from TSMC investing billions to build multiple, of which they already built 1.

TSMC also AFAIK is forbidden from setting up bleeding-edge fabs outside of Taiwan?

  Four more 2nm (or below) fabs in Arizona. That's bleeding-edge or very close to it.

    They're building 1.4nm in Taiwan

    Will they remain bleeding edge by the time they are operational?

    By end of decade, no? Seems like domestic fab will always be two steps behind. I assume by design.

  Intel latest is the bleeding edge and more advanced than TSMCs.
