AMD doesn't make it's own chips and with less than 11,000 employee's doing design ect...GlobalFoundries makes them and is privately held and one of many companies owned by Mubadala Investment Co., a private equity fund owned by the government of Abu Dhabi. Intel design's and actually makes its own chips based in N.America with over 108,000 employee's. Just saying I rather support an actual U.S. base company who can make decisions without lawyers and contracts.
