If Intel make the CPUs in the USA are they going to be shipped to China for final assembly?

Packaging is something Intel does very well and they have facilities is the USA. The rumor is many companies might do final assembly with Intel.

I think packaging is still mostly Penang (Malaysia).

Why not? A single Boeing 747-8F could carry 10M-50M chips in a single trip.

I'm going to call it now, the next big heist movie is going to be about hijacking a plane/container full of AI chips valued at >$1B.

  Maybe valued at >$1B, but who do you sell it to?

The value of that airplane would be astronomical. I would split it up into dozens of flights just to reduce risk if one of them had a mechanical problem.

  They said 747, not 737MAX, so the risk isn't as high /s
  Then again, if it were A320s, they'd be at risk of solar flares, so best go by ship I think
