What about Texas Instruments?
Wasn't there something in the news recently about Apple using a TI chip in one of its products? Why not use a U.S.-based chip manufacturer that already has a presence in the same state as Apple's secondary hub?
Plus, according to CNET,
Texas Instruments OMAP 4470
"This one currently powers the Archos 101XS and soon the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and Nook HD line. It sports a PowerVR SGX544 GPU and delivers smooth frame rates, even taxing 3D Android games. Its performance currently outdoes the Tegra 3 in polygon-pushing power."
