"Breton’s idea of a foundry that manufactures the most sophisticated generations of chips “is a bridge too far," said one industry official who is involved in discussions with European governments. "The gap is pretty wide between what Breton has in mind and what the industry can deliver without committing financial suicide." Instead of the smallest-scale chips, Europe's car industry and other key sectors instead could use a factory that produces slightly larger semiconductors, industry experts said." Mi sembra ovvio, un'automobile non è uno smartphone, hai tutto lo spazio che vuoi per mettere chip "leggermente" più grandi. Nel 2005 l'italo/francese STMicroelectronics era la quinta azienda mondiale di semiconduttori, oggi è la sedicesima. E intanto la Volkswagen i chip li compra in Cina, mah. Antonio
