True, but that is the harsh facts of reality. Majority of western processors may be designed here, but are manufactured in Taiwan, China, Korea or Japan. Fab facilities in countries like Germany, Israel, Russia, USA, Canada, etc are purely for research while manufacturing is abroad. It is cheaper as they have more facilities that are currently ready and currently producing microprocessors of various types en mass, thus reducing the cost significantly. If these microprocessors would be manufactured in Russia en mass, it would require time in training and obtaining personnel, as well as more facilities to make these, thus costing significantly more.
