But not in the US... tells you something.
- ars 6y agoI think it tells you they smell money :) The US probably won't give them a subsidy, but the EU really wants tech and might be willing to pay for it.
- foepys 6y agoEverybody is currently throwing money at chip makers as the world finally realizes how dependent it became on chip production in Asia. Intel is just smart and wants to get subsidies in the US and in the EU. There already are several chip making fabs in the EU, btw.
- thu2111 6y agoYes but the only ones not on long since obsolete nodes are the Intel fabs in Ireland, I think.
- foepys 6y agoObsolete is very relative. You can still use chips produced on 40nm for embedded controllers that control large industrial machinery.
- bryanlarsen 6y agoIs the Global Foundries Dresden 22nm fdsoi plant "long since obsolete"?
- makapuf 6y ago22nm is ivy bridge, Intel ça. 2011. I wonder what the perf would be with a modern design on this process.
