The challenge. If your contention is that Russia has more scientific discoveries than the US go ahead and list Russian discoveries. I will then provide my list. Let's see which is longer.

I dont begrudge the Russians their slice of the pie...it isnt like they are leaders in CPUs, hard drives, displays, motherboards, memory, or any other comptuer parts. They found something they're good at. Good for them.

Taiwan does not design Intel CPUs. Manufacturing is not the same thing as designing.

Taiwan is known for manufacturing good memory and Motherboards though.

Lots of nations manufacture stuff created and designed in America.

That's because manufacturing boards is highly dangerous process that involves lots of chemicals including various types of acid. It's the manufacturing equivalent of making meth in that there is high volatility component that can result in explosions. Of course it happens far less frequently, but even one every year is too many. Taiwan is less concerned than the US and has lax regulation.
