I’m looking to avoid American-made goods and American companies as much as possible and this relatively challenging when it comes to computers.
From my research so far it seems very difficult to find computer hardware that isn’t using American company microprocessors. CPUs available to non-industrial uses tend to be AMD, Intel, or recently some Qualcomm — all US companies. Even Raspberry Pi uses a Broadcom chip, and the other up-and-coming ARM chips I’ve researched seem to be American as well.
I’d appreciate any insights in this area, either companies with existing products or up and coming companies to watch. If I had a blind spot in my research and I’m missing something obvious please tell me.
Plenty of Taiwanese based companies for PC parts (ASRock, ASUS, BenQ); though I don’t know if any of them have CPUs, specifically, and the GPUs are still based on specs from nVidia or AMD so IDK how much better that is. There’s also Chinese based parts, though I have to imagine that’s not much better than US ones, for the same reasons you want to avoid American parts.
