Intel CEO Paul Gelsinger said supply of chipmaking equipment is the most important pinch point to the build-out of capacity today.

He added that he's urging authorities in the US and Europe, which have each launched their own Chips Act to promote national semiconductor manufacturing, to speed up the legislation.

A shortage of advanced equipment to make semiconductors could hold up global expansion plans.
