I believe they will rename the European fabs under "ESMC".
This also allows them to tailor chip production better to a region's needs.

You'll get better PC-based chips than the US plus they can also build a five year "fuse" into automotive chips for BMW.
They will not build latest chip technology and smallest chips here, but only bigger ones of older tech generation that can be used in car production.
