Anybody know if this has anything to do with Biden's Chips and Sciences program?

Yes. So far, the CHIPS Act has resulted in $6.6b in direct funding and an additional $5b in available loans for the AZ facility.

Cool. Thanks for the intel.

You mean the TSMC.

I don't know what TSMC is. Figured it was a company.

Not sure if you're serious, but they were making a joke because Intel, who makes chips, is a competitor to TMSC the chip manufacturer from the article.

So they played on that relationship by treating the word Intel in your "thanks for the Intel" comment as meaning the company.
