The majority of it takes place in Oregon or Arizona, yeah. Some of the previous generations came out of Ireland but that’s largely been removed from the most advanced nodes.

Where the US has UTTERLY failed is fabs for fabless semiconductor manufacturers. NVIDIA, Qualcomm, AMD (yes, they sold off their fabs), Broadcom, etc, etc, NONE make their own chips, they rely mainly on TSMC who has been a great partner to work with. They are a Taiwanese company - always have been and have been a…

China isn’t the home to cheap labor anymore. The per capita GDP in Guangdong is now 13K and climbing every single year. What they do have is the know how and the supply chain to get your product on the market in a matter of a few weeks.

Or the future Nvidia 4080ti, at a reasonable price of let’s say $2500.

No. You just need to change focus away from ‘mindless busywork’ like much the American ‘economy’ is, and back to producing ‘things.’ Not necessarily physical ‘things’ but actual things, not just money.

And so young at that-and at heart. The Groovin’ 70's...indeed she was a major player. R I P....

We already have foxCONn in wisCONson

So how many tax dollars are going to go to a rich ass company to give them a giant monopoly?

I remember when the IC makers cheerfully gutted themselves, tossing RAM manufacture to Asia because it was low margin and taking with it valuable expertise that is learned only with high-volume. Then kissed mid-level chips goodbye, and finally CPUs. They stopped making those nice ceramic chips that only the DoD…

It just blows me away that she was only 26 when she recorded “Tonight is the Night.” What a force!

I grew up listening to Betty during the 1970s. And now she’s gone along with Little Richard and Andre Harrell.

I agree. It’s in him, regardelss of checmicals. The medical conditon of: Megalomania can cause severe actions, reactions and comical mistakes in judgement... if there is any to be had.
