The article says “leading-edge” but I really wonder what processes will be used here, so far the new fabs being set up in the US aren’t being tooled for the latest EUV 3nm etc. stuff, but older nodes. The older ones are still very important, and any way to remove dependence on potentially disruptable single sources of chips is great, but would be awesome to have proper cutting edge chip manufacture in the EU.
