      Almost all RAM comes from #1: Samsung (aka: Korea) and #2: Crucial/Micron (aka: USA).

      TSMC has strong logic chips, but it takes more than just logic to make a computer. USA is no slouch either.

      TSMC is impressive, but TI is a giant in automotive microcontrollers, power-transistors and the like. If you’re getting electricity of any kind (power-supplies, electric vehicles, switching terminals of electric lines), its probably going through a TI transistor with power-controllers / TI-microcontrollers in between.

      USA absolutely has tons of chip talent. TSMC may be the top, but lets not pretend that USA is some kind of technological slouch.
