The Biden administration has pledged to provide up to $6.6 billion so that a Taiwanese semiconductor giant can expand the facilities it is already building in Arizona and better ensure that the most-advanced microchips are produced domestically for the first time.
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.
DoD buys a shitload of PCs and clustered servers and things too.
Which is a separate topic from whether are all state-of-the-art (spoiler: the vast majority are not, I doubt much has changed in that regard since I’ve been out).
Why would “all” be the topic
