Not really. The factory will not produce CPUs GPUs or other high end chips.

One of the redundancies, and not a very high end one

Not high end, but literally 1,000% the volume of high end. It will be automotive / embedded, you know, the chips that are in everything that's not a laptop or gaming rig.

And just looking at it from a strategic point of view, those are the chips you want. Your industry runs on them, the vast majority of your industrie's products runs on it. Even more important: your military runs on those chips.
