Intel has two architecture teams, one in Israel and the other in Oregon. They also have fabs all over, with their big 14nm ones being in Oregon (D1X, D1D, D1C) and Arizona (Fab 12, 32 and 42).

Altogether, they have more fabs in the US than outside (7 vs 3).

I know was just still making a point that you can buy an Intel CPU today that was designed in Israel, manufactured in Ireland (Fab 24) and the packaged somewhere else and it's still "American".

If I remember well some parts of the Itanium were designed in Barcelona.

I guess most Intel stuff is now designed almost everywhere ;-)

And it's American... because it's made by an US corporation.
