With its IDM 2.0 strategy, Intel is committed to investing in manufacturing capacity to support the surging global demand for semiconductors. The company recently announced plans to build two new leading-edge chip fabs at its Ocotillo campus in Chandler, Ariz. The new factories will support expanding requirements of Intel's products and provide committed capacity for foundry customers.

On Friday, Sept. 24, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger will be joined by government and community leaders for a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the largest private-sector investment in Arizona history: a $20 billion project that will bolster U.S. semiconductor leadership and help bring geographical balance to the global supply chain.
 
This is a great announcement, but it will be a while before the factory comes online.

    I believe the projected online date is sometime in 2024.

    That sounds about right. No doubt Intel received some nice tax incentives for the fabs.

    If they can get workers to show up to build it now, would be great...

    I believe the Fed $300. per week unemployment stopped on 6 Sep.  However, "Arizona could face a shortage of 240,000 skilled trades workers by 2030." (Source:  https://cem-az.com/naiop-arizona-hosts-program-on-the-labor-shortage/)

    Great news, in the early 90's US was the leader in global chip production (about 40%), which has eroded to about 12% now.  Looks like we'll be heading back in the right direction in a hand full of years.

    I’ll believe it when I see it. It’ll take at least 10 years to begin to change trajectory.

    I used to mine. Now I compute.
