American CPU, made in Taiwan, assembled in China, and somehow European tech?

Let me know when itโ€™s a RISC-V laptop made at STMicroelectronics with memory made at GlobalFoundries in Dresden!

The post clearly says European brands.
There is no European-made x86 CPU available.

It will take at least 10 years to establish a manufacturer in Europe. What are you supposed to do if you need a computer now?

(mind, you should always buy secend-hand)

Sadly GloFo has its headquarters in New York (state) and is owned by a UAE investor. So would you really call that European then?

Besides that it doesn't seem to produce or be capable of producing DDR5 and focuses on logic instead.

Nothing is perfect.
