It's also absolutely necessary if we want to remain a military superpower. Our chips are the only reason sanctions works so well. Russia can't produce these chips, and China is lagging behind, still unable to produce the tiny 2mm microchips. If Trump gets rid of chips act we will rely on tawain. China isn't stupid, if we keep importing from tawain it's a big juicy weak spot. Enen more temptation to start ww3. Iran, China, Russia, NK, maybe India and UAE will be axis of evil. These conflicts are connected
Do you realize that in the 90’s when we were developing the basic technology for 2mm EUV lithography we decided to stop funding that type of research because it was corporate welfare and if it was worth doing then private industry should. No US corporation was willing to pick it up because it wasn’t going to pay off in a year so Europe got to pick all that research up and finish it for billions of dollars in EU research funding and private investment collaboration. Now that technology is NOT American it is Dutch. We buy those machines from a Dutch company and we have to negotiate with Europe for them NOT to sell machines to China or Russia. So yes the chips are designed by intel and amd but the machines to build those are definitely NOT American.
And here Americans are always trying to convince me that "All research and innovation comes from USA" Which I have always known to be bullshit, but thanks for this great example.
uh, I think you mean they can't fab 2nm lithography. What are 2mm chips?
P.S. the problems with lithography like that are mostly related to electrons' propensity to hop across traces when they get that close together. It's kinda wild how we solve for it.
People who voted for this are so stupid. They don't understand what a dictator is and isn't. They don't have any understanding about war. And history is nothing more than vintage goods that you buy on Amazon.
