- rasz 2y agoIts a packaging plant. Something intel used to do in the nineties in Malaysia, Costa Rica, Vietnam. Do you happen to know of any Costa Rica chip wins arising from this? Its a pure subsidies scam :| and Im going to pay for it :(
- 0rzech 2y agoI heard this will be a testing and packaging facility. Your argument still holds, though.
- rasz 2y agoI get the feeling it wont be testing and packaging where testing is heavy duty metrology, characterizing silicon, inspection, defect analysis, binning. It will be packaging and testing of packaged chips with press button to receive bacon machine.

So it looks like it'll be more than just testing finished product, but we'll soon find out anyway.
- slaw 2y agoIf they employ polish cheap engineers it will be a net loose.
- 0rzech 2y agoThe OP wrote "chip", not "cheap". ;)
- lofaszvanitt 2y agoSure, since they don't have much experience, but in time, they will.
- bluecalm 2y agoIdk how it's supposed to work. Do you think there are any chances for Polish chip companies arising? You could send 1000 of those guys to work for free in facilicties around the world using 5% of the money. I see it as a giant subsidy for a foreign business at the cost of Polish entrepreneurs.
- lofaszvanitt 2y agoWhy not? They created the best looking game evar, zeroing the competition, without using any of the bloated game engines on the market.
- bluecalm 2y agoBut how giving 2B to Intel helps with that? Again you could send thousands of Polish engineers to work for free at major facilities around the world using a fraction of this money if you want them to get more experienced. We are not helping any Polish firms with that move just taking away from them and giving it to US firm.
