One thing that may save Intel’s bacon big time is the increase of defense budgets worldwide as many countries go into a rearmament drive. All forms of weaponry today require chips, lots and lots of them.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoIntel doesn't make many defense chips nor do they plan on as the defense industry is low volume and heavily bureocratic and doesn't generate the kind of margins Intel is interested in. That's why there are very few fabs in the US certified for defense contracts. Because it's not a profitable business to be in for a fab if you've got better options. For Intel to want to get in on this, uncle Sam would have to open his wallet far far wider than he does right now.
