"Real men have fabs." – Jerry Sanders.

TSMC - "You don't need to manage your own fabs. Let us do it for you and just focus on what you do best."

Intel kept its fabs, which certainly gave it many advantages, until Intel's tick-tock model failed. Now, America is crying about its own failures and wants to punish others for their success.

It makes America look bitter.

the cost to build a state of the art fab is on the order of 30 to 50 billion.
