    When all we had to do was pass a law that defense chips had to be produced in America

    Are those actually using leeding edge chips? Unless you are also including data centers in here, I think most military tech probably uses mature nodes.

    The NSA might need the latest chips to have as much performance for processing data as possible, and you probably also need huge data centers for the development of stuff. But you don’t need 3nm chips to put them in cruise missiles or even aircrafts.
