The $20 Billion Process Behind America's Most Powerful Chips | Made In America

We got rare access inside Intel's semiconductor operation in Oregon to see how some of America's most advanced chips are made. As tensions with China rise, Washington is betting on Intel, the only American company that both designs and manufactures advanced chips in the US, to help rebuild domestic chipmaking. We visited its cleanroom, its R&D lab, and a packaging operation no media had ever visited before to see how Intel plans to do it.
