U.S. Government in Talks with Intel to Build Processor Factories on Home Soil

[DeathtoGnomes]

If the US both government and private sector want to keep blood off their hands from blood diamonds, labor exploitation for lithium, and much else they need to bring manufacturing back to the US of A so the government and people can control the whole chain and avoid dependency on other countries.


The US was neutral before WW1 and should return to that, stay out of other countries and their business. Focus on making the country strong through civil projects that help the neglected citizens.

What a load of horse dung. Get out, if you dont like it here. Finding fault in a country makes for an easy way to escalate predicted failure ( the sky is falling!) and easier to point fingers and say I told you so.

GloFlo was one of those companies subject to "voluntary" IP theft, it didnt help that AMD was in the crapper and heading deeper at the time.

The current list of foundries currently cannot be expanded to accommodate Intel, even a comeplete rework of current facilities would cost too much to even try, the risk of failure is alos a bit too much vs cost. Also, I doubt any of them (listed) have the technology 'sense', leta long the ability, to step up here.

Bring all production back to their origin country. Government and companies can find a middle ground to keep cost rise at mininum. Otherwise, in the very near future we will lose all production capabilities and know how and will be totally at the mercy of that specific nation.

They're gunna need to build a bigger Embassy in Taiwan if it's going to house a chip manufacturing plant inside it.
The guy said "home soil" he didn't say it had to be in America.

They could simply just build an "affiliate" site in Hsinchu...
It might help if the US also recognised Taiwan as a nation at the same time...

I did not know that, Great to know. I like AMD CPU's, have generally been the go-to CPU company for me on a budget.

I posted a picture a little while ago, my 3900X was made last year.

What's your latest tech purchase?

Intel E5 2690 Where's the 8 core Sandy Bridge going into?

Wow, this whole thread was a interesting and fun read. This thing goes WAY back farther than most remember in the U.S. IMO this whole manufacturing deficit that we have now started with NAFTA. After it was passed many industries started to shut down in this country . One of the first was steel and metal production, or our own CORE infrastructure. Ask anyone in the Rust belt or the midwest, they will tell you the same thing. when manufacturing went away, jobs and families went away. We bought steel from Canada because it was cheaper, even though we could have still made our own. We as a economy, people, and a society have gotten lazy, and depending on China and other countries for our daily intake of products to make us feel "better" about ourselves. We as a country and our partners need to wake up and answer some very difficult questions that we seem to have avoided all of this time. Yeah Covid 19 didn't help the situation but, it has been here for a while now...If you want change, grab it on your own, because i feel like help aint coming... My intent was not to start a political response, so i hope no one is or became offended. Have a great day everyone...hopefully things get better.

As far as I know - people in general are a bunch of lazy f%$#s.

Am a person, can confirm.

Liberals, globalists, came into being after the adoption of unregulated profit initiative. You literally will have to clean up your room for world change.

Don't agree (or even know what initiative you think liberals are responsible for) but nice talking I guess.

 

[Mistral]

Or just make Taiwan a state...

...wait, that's not exactly how it works. Unless you a China, and then just decide to grab Tibet and whoever else you want. That seems OK for some reason.

Damn, I was convinced you were a Frog.

Frogs are people too.

This is a field of medicine.

What is? This thread has nothing to do with medicine. And I disagree also with your premise that health has anything to do with a functioning democracy. Education maybe, but health? As long as you live it can work.

I'm not going further because that seems so OT as to get me in trouble again.

w8.. That wasn't made in the US

 

[R-T-B]

The health policies of your surgeon general involves the field of medicine. You cannot have a strong national economy without a national policy on everything.

The policies of your POTUS has the proceedings of a stronger national economy, health naturally being a part of it.
I said 'republic', a functioning one. You might have to thank him for good health sometime.


Yep, it is common when free market "disbands" stuff. What was once profit becomes tax.

I think there is a language barrier preventing understanding here, rendering it pointless to continue even if it were on topic.

w8.. That wasn't made in the US

No. It wasn't even diffused there. Why AMD has not updated that marking is beyond me. In a different age, it'd be lawsuit material one would think.

Yeah, but it's not made in China, it had me wounder what part is deffused in the US, but to my understanding part of the chip is made in the US\Taiwan but put together else were.

Do explain.

 

[Tatty_Two]

For the life of me I have no idea how the topic of this news piece has become about about health policies so please get back to the topic in hand, thread bans issued for those that had the opportunity to stop but chose to ignore it, thank you.

 

[R-T-B]

Do explain.

They are falsely claiming a country of orgin. I'm not certain, but it seems like it's illegal to do that.

The only node AMD has access too in the USA I think is the old IBM/GloFo 14nm plant in Fiskill, NY. Your chip isn't 14nm. Do the math.

 

[AsRock]

TSMC have a place in WA if i remember right, but if it's 7nm i don't know.
