You're moving the goal post. You went from being able to manufacture CPUs in general to manufacturing modern CPUs that can replace current workloads.
Sure, we'd have to decrease reliance on them for a while, but we be able to manufacture some computers without really any delay, while we build back to modern capabilities.
To be fair, we can live fine without streaming video and bloated crapware. 1990s hardware is more than sufficient to keep essentials alive.
I was thinking of modern CPUs the whole time and then people are trying to "What-if" their way into whatever they want it to be.
Fine, it's whatever you want it to be. We'll be making modern CPUs in a bucket next to the bucket where we recycle paper.
