    Okay, that’s fair. I’m not entirely sure but I know that Intel is building a processing plant in Germany. I don’t know if they use raw materials, or they also rely on other manufacturers to produce stuff for them.

      Chip plants are another matter yet again. They usually work with silicon wafers into which they a chip surface.

      I don’t know where Intel get their materials from either. The silicon processing industry is largely Chinese again—I think Western and Japanese countries do have the appropriate factories and technology too though.

        I just read, that TSMC also plans on creating a processing plant in Germany(near Dresden) so in the near future we might see chips made entirely in Europe.
