To restore American leadership in semiconductor manufacturing

We have intel and amd here already. It’s not clear that R&D is the issue, it’s cost of manufacturing. This seems to be better solved with some kind of critical industry tax incentives.

Does AMD manufacture here?

TSMC makes AMD chips. TSMC recently announced plans to open a plant in Arizona, although I don't believe they've announced what chips will be made there.

doesnt GlobalFoundries as well (the spinoff of AMDs fab along with some acquisitions.)

You're right, I was thinking of 7nm. They still have agreements with GF for 12nm+.

Current generation which will be previous generation once it is done.

AMD has global foundries manufacture their IO chip. They are an American company, but I don’t know where they actually fab the silicon. (I would assume Singapore since that’s where their 200nm fabs are)

What I am saying is that AMD and NVIDIA are based here and a lot of R&D is here, but they manufacture overseas. It’s not clear what more R&D dollars will accomplish.
