17 Billion on supply chain sounds like BS.
All the material comes from offshore, so why spend the money to ship it all here then manufacture and assemble unless labor for that is about to ve cheaper in the US.
Because China os withholding the chips, why do you think cars are so expensive and have a backlog of wait time and chip-dependant goods are so expensive?
Now do our medicines!
Yes sir!
and our food.. .and our every damned thing else!!! it's maddening to go to any store and find all the shit made in china!!!
Im not sure I understand. Are you saying they take say a chip made on a 20nm process and somehow turn that chip into a 7nm chip?
Also, remanufacturing is still costly and much cheaper to be done elsewhere.
That only holds true until "Elsewhere" won't ship it to us....
Or hikes up the price because "elsewhere" are the only people making the chips...
Semiconductor Company's have Teams that do nothing but convert existing designs that are popular/useful from one nm process to the next smaller nm process, so that that design can be made in an upgraded facility. Then remodel the old nm facility to what ever the next gen process is.
The earth is big. Who says we cant acquire the raw materials here in the us?
Even if they could it would have to be cheaper here to do it. I dont see a business plan where this works unlass labor cost in the US is expected to.go way down.
Cue a migrant invasion from the third world.
Unless they anticipate a price hike in the next couple of decades. Still, you'd think they would build the plant in mexico or india...
