For all the wishful thinking about manufacturing more laptops\r
- and iPhones in the U.S., there is one sector of tech\r
- manufacturing where America remains a leader: computer chips.\r
- From a report: Some $44 billion worth of semiconductors are\r
- exported from the U.S. each year, making them America's fourth\r
- leading manufacturing export after cars, airplanes and refined\r
- oil. There are roughly 80 wafer fabrication plants (aka fabs)\r
- in the U.S., spread across 19 states. [...] An even greater\r
- share of the world's computer chips are designed domestically\r
- and made overseas by companies including Qualcomm, Apple,\r
- Broadcom and Nvidia. A bunch of the high-tech gear needed to\r
- produce chips is also designed and/or made in the U.S.\r
