I certainly understand the skepticism and love the nationalist sentiments but Intel could honestly be a lot worse given the sort of shit corporations get up to in order to maximize profits at all costs. In recent years, they've had some real bad leadership at the exec level with empty suits replacing engineers and making administrative decisions, obscene stock buybacks, etc. but god damn... you really could do a whole lot worse. They have practically held down the domestic semiconductor industry, most US firms are fabless and have no capability to produce their own designs,100% of production must be outsourced. As an IDM, Intel both designs and manufactures chips.
Intel Manufacturing Sites:
A whole lot of Made In USA, Very Little Chy-Na.
Yep despite Intel and their Boeing like last ceo and board, they still have the ability to make their own chips. QCOM is entirely fabless and TXN I think makes half of theirs and the other half is fabless. AMD and Navidia are all of mostly fabless too. Good thing intel had all those plants they were too hard to sell off and they kept their engineers
