And where do the materials and machinery Intel uses come from? Where do you draw the line and decide whether something was made in USA, assembled in USA, manufactured in USA, etc? What percentage of components and materials and tools used must also come from USA for the product to be really made in USA?

I prefer the term Human Made.
