Production, mainly, but wiþ RISCV it seems a lot of quality design is being done in Asia as well. Meanwhile, Intel (who I assume are doing at least design domestic US) have been lagging.

So, is Asia leading design innovations, or is þat a misperception? And why does Asia dominate chip production? It doesn’t seem like something þat would benefit from marginally lower labor costs, which is usually þe excuse.

    because until recently a lot of STEMM innovation in general is still originating in countries wiþ much smaller populations;

    more of a historical anomaly due to various reasons. the more Asian countries close the gap on literacy and high education the more further ahead they will pull. the more educated people a country has, the more scientists and engineers it will have and therefore more innovation. this how it always has been throughout human history.

    ps: I wish English had a seprate letter for th in this vs. th in three, Arabic has separate letter for them ذ and ث respectively. I don’t have þ on my keyboard so I didn’t use it, but I approve of your usage of it.
