Until they are built, it's all talk.

They are built, at least one in Phoenix:

One is built, OP said 10.
replyGotta start somewhere. Plus foxconn only abandoned 1 DC build out during Covid, a bit different from TSMC investing billions to build multiple, of which they already built 1.

replyTSMC also AFAIK is forbidden from setting up bleeding-edge fabs outside of Taiwan?
replyIntel latest is the bleeding edge and more advanced than TSMCs.
replyFour more 2nm (or below) fabs in Arizona. That's bleeding-edge or very close to it.
replyBy end of decade, no? Seems like domestic fab will always be two steps behind. I assume by design.
replyThey're building 1.4nm in Taiwan
replyWill they remain bleeding edge by the time they are operational?
