What ? Not building in Kalifornia ?
Good move: It’s in the USA
Bad move: It’s in Arizona. A locale that is already short of water.
>> broke ground on two new factories in Arizona as part of its turnaround plan
Did Intel just come up with that idea?
good news.
LOL
Even Leftists aren’t that stupid.
It loos like the Tiawan plant is well underway off the north side of 303.
Finally! I was wondering when that would happen. Intel used to have a great facility in Chandler.
This is a great story.
We just had the rainiest summer in 12 years. It was mire than the previous 12 years combined. If we have a water shortage, it is a manufactured crisis.
The biggest fab in the world is already in Chandler, AZ.
Intel does a great job minimizing water usage.
I worked for them for almost 30 years.
I don't understand why they are both building in a very dry area that already has water shortages and are projected to be even worse in the near future.
I was making chips for National Semiconductoe when Intel started-up just down the way on E Middlefield road.
This is good news.
Looks like full employment for all those Haitians and Afghans
No problem, we just steal California's by declaring that US water resources should go to American citizens first instead of the 27% of California that is foreign born. 26.7% of California's residents are foreign born while Arizona has only half that at 13.4%.

Ditto the NM plant.
Much better than in California.
Arizona sells a lot of electricity to California.
The water shortage is caused by increased population growth in the western states that get there water from snow melt..
They haven’t even finished the massive fab they are building in Seattle. And they keep insisting they aren’t leaving California.
