Not true at all. Intel and AMD have fabs in the US, Germany, Israel, etc.
Desktop and commercial computing, X86, are different then the risc architecture that is primarily in the automotive and small devices.
Fabs are fabs. The tools aren't any different. The only limitation would be raw manufacturing capacity and possibly intellectual property rights.
IP would be the predominant hangup. But regardless, the (((US))) gave away all of our technological advantages to the chinks because they had the lowest costs. We would have to extensively rebuild our semiconductor manufacturing capabilities in the US to make up for that, and that takes time. From my understanding you would need a rather large overhaul of the current setups to allow the building of risc and x86 from the same components. But idk, things are changing. Apple is talking about going the risc route and x86 seems to be on its last legs. Who knows what the future holds in that field, and I know some actual engineers working the field and they don’t even know what’s going on.
