News Intel Pumps $2.7B Into Israeli Fab

Also, free Tibet

This isn't politics, this is tech.

FYI Israel universities are very good, and without the Israeli R&D centre you'd never have Pentium M CPUs, which means you'll also never have Core-series either. We'd be stuck using P4s. Political aspects aside, it does actually makes sense as Intel has been investing in Israel for many years with great results. Xir knows it!

Also, where else could you go to work in the tech industry packing a Glock?

 

Austin, Texas

"An abundance of sand" Hmmm, that explains "Sandy Bridge" *Badum-Tush!!!*

 

How about here

What do I win?

 

Greetings!

No, I am not pleased.
It is a disgrace that Intel installed itself there.

You better be trolling!

 

Greetings!

Am not. The choice of that location by Intel to put a fab is just a disgrace.

Sorry Impar but there really is no need for that here. This isn't the forum to air those views.

 

From that perspective, putting it anywhere in Israel is pretty much a disgrace. If you don't like Israel, don't buy products made there, simple as that.
