    They’re too big to fail both in sheer size and strategic importance. I don’t see the US government actually letting them fail. But what do I know.

      I’m sure Intel makes all sorts of chips for military hardware.

      They won’t be allowed to die. How will the missile be able to subtract where it isn’t from where it is if the chip that does the subtracting isn’t made anymore.

      I’m wouldn’t be surprised if there hasn’t been a full investigation into the intel fabs due to this. If consumer chips have been melting themselves for years due to shit manufacturing, shouldn’t someone in the DOD be asking if the chips in their fancy missiles are going to melt themselves halfway to the target?
