Intel Foundry scores $3B for defense chips
On a busy Monday, Intel also revealed it won up to $3 billion in funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to establish a secretive manufacturing program called the "Secure Enclave."

This is probably the saving grace for Intel, USA will not allow to be dependent on production outside USA, and AFAIK there are no other remaining US foundries left that are remotely competitive with a world leading production process.

Yep, for better or worse, Intel is pretty much the only remaining Western "bleeding-edge" CPU designer manufacturing its products in its own fabs. I find it weird that so many people seem to root for Intel to fail.

I'm European and I own AMD stock, but I don't root for Intel to fail.
It's not only Russia, but also China who is getting more aggressive, we need to stick together now more than ever since WW2.
It's insane that a traitor like Trump has a shot at becoming president of USA!?!?

Trump would immediately abandon Europe if Putin would ask nice enough. I have a feeling that to "appease" Russia for "arming nazis in Ukraine", would immediately kick EE and Baltic states out of NATO, and would also ask the EU to let go of those, so Putin can just destroy their democracies via espionage, and not through war.

It's kinda like saying it's weird we want Boeing or Raytheon to fail, these are companies that screw us over in the name of profit.

Once TSMC Arizona is up and running (probably 2027 or so), that's going to be a supply chain that goes through entirely friendly countries, not at significant geopolitical risk.
