#2 Intel is a bit incompetent, too. Other chip makers passed them up with faster stuff.

Other chip makers passed them up with faster stuff.

I don't give a hoot what these other chip makers are up to. The issue here is the utterly stupid business decisions in recent years to outsource as much of US chip supply lines as they could get away with. Now we are suffering for their stupidity. An unknown number of new but only partially built US cars, SUVs and trucks are sitting in parking lots waiting for essential computer chips to again be available. One might think the US gubmint would be doing everything it can do to facilitate an increase in domestic chip production. One might think that, but one would be wrong.
By the way, in recent months late model used cars can be sold for MORE than their original MSRP. The few new vehicles are often being sold by US dealers for $1000s OVER MSRP, due to the extreme shortages.
