What about IBM? They have a few foundries in the US (and Canada), and used to produce the processors for Xbox 360 and PS3, which were both pretty advanced. And these were far from their most advanced chips, the stuff they built for their Z-series is truly impressive.

I haven't followed them much since, but 10 years ago, they were doing good stuff when I worked there.

IBM's fabs are acquired by GlobalFoundries and GF retired to develop leading process.

Thus continuing IBM's very sad tendency to sell every part of itself that's interesting.

I didn't know, but I'm not surprised.
