It helps as 90 minutes away is Rochester Institute of Technology which offers degrees in microelectronics engineering (the design and manufacture of computer chips) with a functional clean room manufacturing facility. They can tap into the talent coming out of the school and support internships (a required part of graduation from RIT.

Amen. I just don't understand TSMC and Intel building chip factories out in Arizona, when everyone knows Lake Powell is drying up. It's destined to already fail like by next year.

Hearing about this Micron investment gives me hope America will get back on its feet again. 🙏

Samsung is a juggernaut. They keep expanding in the area. Tesla is not really online yet, but I drive by the facility from time to time. It’s huge and there is a lot of activity there.

Don’t forget Applied Materials, which is huge here. They build the machines that build the semiconductors. Not to mention Apple having thirty buildings or so, IBM, AMD, Oracle, Dell and a ton of other tech giants.

Austin is like San Francisco’s little brother.
