And how do you define "chips?"
For every one advanced semiconductor maybe being made at a US fab you're going to have 40-50 supporting "chips" for power regulation, signal processing, amplification, etc etc etc... Does a MOSFET count as a "chip"? A 555?
Also advanced processors being made here like 90% of the time are going to be offshored to be packagd for final use, since all the advanced packaging technologies are stuck in Taiwan et al.
More numpy's bullshit from a demented dingus who doesn't know how to turn a door handle properly anymore.
Depends how big a bribe they pay him. Pay him enough and all of your "chips" are actually "microprocessors" instead and don't get a tariff.
These demands are always a shakedown. Always.
Trivial to break up wafers into more chips.
You know they wrote the order so broadly that Trump can wield it at anyone that hurts his feelings at the moment.
For every Core Ultra 5 285K Intel has TSMC manufacture, they have to manufacture one GbE controller in Arizona. Works for them!
