How important is it, strategically, to have the most advanced process tech? As far as I know, military tech tends to lag commercial significantly.

Old military tech also has a longer shelf life. There are lots of military installations that were built before the internet.

Only so much as it leads to faster AI.

I think this is a good answer.

I'm not sure that I've personally bought in to the AI revolution, but it sounds like it's generally agreed to be the future.

At the same time, there is so much room for basic improvement in the defense space. I have a hard time believing 5nm vs 10nm is a serious problem when half the vetronics system is analog.

But yes, in a big picture strategic sense, AI capabilities seems like the area most likely to pose a serious risk by not leading the world in chip technology.
