Now Intel is stepping up their game to compete w/ TSMC & Samsung on cutting edge semiconductor manufacturing!

Imagine: huge companies COMPETING & building chip plants all in Western countries w/ friendly Democracies! ❤

Intel made Pat Gelsinger CEO in Feb. 2021 to chart a new course in semiconductors to make Intel competitive again

Intel CEO Gelsinger:
"We have construction in Oregon, New Mexico, Arizona, Ireland and Israel. And we expect to plant our next major fabs in the U.S. and Europe before the end of this year."

Gelsinger has an ambitious roadmap to catch and surpass Samsung and TSMC by 2025.

Key to the plan is a series of massive new chip fabrication plants, or fabs, that Intel is building in the U.S., Europe and Israel. Combined, they will cost more than $44 billion to build.

Notice China and Russia aren't in Intel's plans?

Xi Jinping is gonna be a #SadPanda 😂

Where will Huawei get its cutting edge chips? Maybe nowhere!

Gelsinger also recently announced Intel Foundry Services, a business that opens up Intel's fabs to make chips designed by Amazon, Qualcomm and other customers. For decades, the markets have rewarded giants like Apple and Qualcomm for being fabless.

But the chip shortage has made manufacturing chips a more attractive business, allowing TSMC to raise chip prices as much as 20%.

Make cutting edge chips in Western Democracies for big profits!

"It takes time to build this infrastructure," said Keyvan Esfarjani, Intel's SVP of manufacturing, supply chain & operations. "But the good news is, the world is rallying behind building additional capacity."

And Netanyahu won't be Prime Minister to cut the ribbon at the new Intel Israel plant 😂

We need to build more than the current 12% of world semiconductor chips in America so we can weather hybrid attacks from Putin and Xi

"Every aspect of defense, intelligence, government operations is becoming more digital," Gelsinger said. "And we want to rely on foreign technology for those critical aspects of our defense and national security? I don't think so."

The 18 ANGSTROM chip is even smaller than the 5 Nanometer

Intel will take the lead in 2025!

Also, if you're worried about water shortages & climate change affecting chip fabs, it'l be okay: massive semiconductor chip plants recycle their clean water

Not gonna harm Arizona

AZ's low earthquake risk & high tech talent pool are big advantages
