What’s noteworthy about this announcement is that Samsung will also be opening up an R&D fab as well in their Texas site. This is in contrast to the TSMC Arizona fab, which is going to be manufacturing only.
Such an enormous waste of taxpayers' funds should trigger a well-deserved outrage among Americans, but I guess Americans have seen it all and just don't care anymore.
Maybe I am naive but whatever it takes to bring critical manufacturing back to the United States is a good thing.
