IBM used to be cool, but it failed Vermont horribly

@checkoutanytime The IBM Vermont factory, was sold to a California company, and there were no layoffs that I know of. GlobalFoundries continues to invest in that plant.

Yeah but who are they likely to license it to..... 😔

Sure not anywhere in the US there's only one foundry in the US and that's Intel.

They never were at the best of terms, to put it politely.

As much as I would like it to happen, I don't see how that would go through congress. 😔

These bills are going to get reduced. That will probably be the first to go.

@DeWayfarer Currently, our entire commercial supply of the most advanced CPUs, and memory chips, comes from TSMC (Taiwan) and Samsung (South Korea). Even a minor issue with China, KJU or both, can disrupt this. What's protecting us from political maneuvering, for now, is that China is just as reliant on TSMC as we are.

Congress needs to realize that this is an emergency situation.

@Northwest oh I totally agree. Still don't see it happening. Even the majority is at stake on this bill though. Forget about any Republican support.

It's going to get reduced. 😔
2nm? Shitttt that's small!

So, why can't there be larger rapid prototype circuits?

That's what they have now. At this stage, yield should be less than 1%. Before the process can go mainstream, it should be 99.99%, and that's part of developing the proper manufacturing process. It takes about 8 quarters to get there.
