    And how do you define “chips?”

    For every one advanced semiconductor maybe being made at a US fab you’re going to have 40-50 supporting “chips” for power regulation, signal processing, amplification, etc etc etc… Does a MOSFET count as a “chip”? A 555?

    Also advanced processors being made here like 90% of the time are going to be offshored to be packagd for final use, since all the advanced packaging technologies are stuck in Taiwan et al.

    More numpy’s bullshit from a demented dingus who doesn’t know how to turn a door handle properly anymore.

      Depends how big a bribe they pay him. Pay him enough and all of your “chips” are actually “microprocessors” instead and don’t get a tariff.

      These demands are always a shakedown. Always.

      For every Core Ultra 5 285K Intel has TSMC manufacture, they have to manufacture one GbE controller in Arizona. Works for them!
