Does anyone know or could point in the direction how these processes even work?... people like Nebulous Inc. who are still "in design phase" of the Obelisk claim to have a US ASIC manufacturer, its kinda hard to compete with CN semiconductors? Noo?

Global Foundries 14nm foundry is in New York State, it used to be an IBM foundry.
They also have the ex-AMD foundry in Germany (Dresden I think?).

Intel has at least one foundry in the US, Austin I think?

There are NO foundries on the 14/16nm node in China that I am aware of, TSMC is in TAIWAN not in CHINA.

Samsung has their 14nm foundry somewhere in Korea.

The bulk of MINER manufacturing is done in China, but not the ASIC chips themselves.
