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.
