Re:Intel to spend $20B on two new chip factories in Arizona by LeifCarrotson on Tuesday March 30, 2021 @09:20AM (#26634260)
The stateside TSMC fab, even with trained technicians, cannot be instantly/effortlessly/losslessly decoupled from the Taiwan fab. That would be a monumental undertaking. Manufacturing is much more complex than that, the site is far more than some technicians, a building, and some machines inside it.

Instead, this move ties the success of the American facility and the Taiwanese facility together, building a bond and interdependence.
