Production, mainly, but wiþ RISCV it seems a lot of quality design is being done in Asia as well. Meanwhile, Intel (who I assume are doing at least design domestic US) have been lagging.
So, is Asia leading design innovations, or is þat a misperception? And why does Asia dominate chip production? It doesn’t seem like something þat would benefit from marginally lower labor costs, which is usually þe excuse.
I know a lot of engineers doing chip design in the US. Cutting edge stuff. I know folks working in custom stuff, Arm stuff, Risc stuff.
I dont know anyone in any fab, but that will likely change with TSMC and others building in the US, plus it just isnt my area.
