You know nothing of how foundries work. TSMC has a monopoly on high end chips right now. Intel buying this foundry will bring it under US control. This is a good thing since if China follows through on Taiwan, no one will be getting advanced chips.

>As of 2021, GlobalFoundries is the only semiconductor manufacturer with simultaneous operations in Singapore, the European Union, and the United States. Yeah, not after Intel gets its hands on it. It's all going to be packed up and moved to China.

Do you even know what a foundry is? Your comment is stupid as fuck. If they could just “pack it up”, they wouldn’t spend $30 billion buying existing foundries.
