New chip factory TSMC to open in Arizona "to make the U.S. self-reliant in chips" won't be able to make finished chips: the chips produced there will still have to be sent to Taiwan to be completed. - eviltoast

    I talked with him about this before, and a big part was because Intel has a big presence there already so a lot of locals have education/experience in working with semiconductors. Which apparently isn’t helping them find willing workers still. I would also wager there are probably tax incentives being given too, that is usually a big motivator for companies.
