that list seems to be entirely missing the upstate new york chip fab, which has been around since 2003 or so.

Also missing the ON Semi fab in Rochester that made Kodak's image sensors.

Great list. Also a reminder of why they call it Silicon Valley after all... Maybe Rwanda will push towards researching making their own chipset. ARM is kind of a spec and not some specific processor is how I have understood it. You take the spec and design your own processor from it.

>You take the spec

You have to pay license fees :) but yeah that's the idea. SPARC and MIPS are a bit more open actually.

I missed that bit, and I didn't think about SPARC / MIPS to be fair. Wasn't there another one recently opened up by IBM? Isn't RISC or RISCV? I only focused on ARM because then you can usually take advantage of Android. I do wish there were competing phone OS' though that were open source as well.

Don't forget RISC-V and POWER.

Lol, I don't see any production in Silicon Valley. Most CA production listed is around LA area.

Called it Silicon Valley then, fair enough!
