Almost all RAM comes from #1: Samsung (aka: Korea) and #2: Crucial/Micron (aka: USA).
TSMC has strong logic chips, but it takes more than just logic to make a computer. USA is no slouch either on Logic (Intel is down the street, also in Arizona).
Aside from Intel / Arizona... TI (from Texas) is a giant in automotive microcontrollers, power-transistors and the like. If you're getting electricity of any kind (power-supplies, electric vehicles, switching terminals of electric lines), its probably going through a TI transistor with power-controllers / TI-microcontrollers in between.
USA absolutely has tons of chip talent. TSMC may be the top, but lets not pretend that USA is some kind of technological slouch. Arizona has plenty of talent, there's plenty of talent in New York (Buffalo / GloFo) and Texas (TI) as well in this field. Lets not be so self-deprecating here...
