> The only US owned state of the art fabs in the US belong to Intel

Is the "US owned" clarification to exclude Global Foundries' New York fab? :D

> Chromebooks are ARM

Maybe half of them.

> What's left for Intel?

Fabricating others' designs like TSMC?

But also, Intel isn't going away any time soon, just not being a monopoly anymore.

Global Foundries New York fab (Fab 8), from Wikipedia:

Technology: 28 nm and 14 nm. 7 nm planned. However, in August 2018, GlobalFoundries made the decision to suspend 7 nm development and planned production, citing the unaffordable costs to outfit Fab 8 for 7 nm production. GlobalFoundries held open the possibility of resuming 7 nm operations in the future if additional resources could be secured.

So, not a state of the art fab. Couldn't afford to keep up.

Yeah, not "state of the art" technically, but that's where the first generation Ryzens (14nm) were made, which still feels like yesterday to me, haha.

"14nm" is still good enough, especially considering Intel's "10nm" vaporware..

GF 14nm is still behind from Intel 14nm for actual size.
