silicone valley is LA

apple is the only one in FAANG who has a claim to making silicon, anyway

the name, and san jose's participation in it, is just legacy from when there was actual manufacturing still here. i guess broadcom is still in SJ

amazon makes graviton and inferentia cpus

sup, bitch?
most Silicon Valley giants are involved in some way in chip making

Apple obviously
Google - TPUs, video encoders, pixel phone chips (tensor), and now arm server chips for GCP
Amazon - arm servers and AI chips
Facebook - has a whole silicon team but it seems like a clusterfuck
Microsoft - mostly co-design with AMD for Xbox and Azure server chips
