The American tech giant already employs 11,700 people in Israel and has invested more than $50 billion in the country over the last 50 years.

Intel now wants to expand its existing chipmaking factory at Kiryat Gat — about 16 miles northeast of Gaza — undeterred by the October 7 attacks and the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. Reuters earlier reported the news.

dumpster-fire

I cannot wait for the day I get my hands on a RISC-V computer and can forget the dumpster fire that is x86_64. It goes without saying, avoid buying a intel machine if you can. AMD CPUs are a good enough substitute.

Hmmm Taiwan is becoming too much of a political and military hotspot, better move our production somewhere safe and stable like ... Israel.

Making tough calls like this is why I deserve millions in salary and benefits.

Deep state funding the building of geostrategic industries in ally countries to justify protecting them “on national security grounds to safeguard microchip production.” Thereby enticing the anti-China liberals to more fully support the US/MIC funding neo-colonial outposts like Israel.

Does anyone remember how people went around torching Shell gas stations during the anti-apartheid movement because Shell was invested in apartheid South Africa? Apropos of nothing of course.

wow I can't believe Intel found $25 billion worth of financial instruments they can back with just one factory that won't ever be built
