I hear TI is good also
Absolutely.
The vast majority of the industry is generally good, and invaluable to the country. ON and Microchip are headquartered where I'm at and are top notch, Micron doesn't have the greatest rep for employee management though and there was a bit of a controversy with an AMD partnership in China that cuts a little too close to comfort on matters of national security.
Basically AMD will still maintain a majority stake in CHMT. THATIC owns a majority stake in Hygon, which licenses AMD's IP from CHMT. Hygon designs the chips, and CHMT manufactures them before sending back to Hygon for packaging, marketing, and sales. It could be worse, the copycats will hurt Intel's business in China's lucrative data center market though.
There's a reason Trump has been striking down every single attempted Chinese acquisition of our semiconductor firms, it's a no-go zone flat out. Fuck off with that and get your own shit up if you want to compete, new jack. America invented and spawned this industry.
