Pkrbkr,
It already has left. No significant company makes silicon here anymore. The ones that do are using the scraps left behind fifteen years ago and making do with ancient technology. The money is all in software now. Software Valley just doesn't have that ring to it...
Software still runs on silicon.

There are still plenty of hardware technology companies around. They'll give guys like me employment all the way to my retirement.

Even Google jumped into hardware design a few years ago. They saw just how well Apple's hardware division is doing and wanted a piece of the action.

Silicon chips are commodities, like pork bellies now. They are no longer 'high tech'.

So, no reason to buy Intel. Buy cheaper, but just as good, AMD processors.
