https://www.techpowerup.com/291179/intel-reveals-plans-for-ususd-20-billion-chip-fab-in-ohio Rather unusually, Intel announced its latest chip fab plans not via a press release, but via an exclusive article in TIME magazine. It seems like an unusual strategy, as these kinds of things are normally not announced in this kind of fashion, especially as TIME doesn't exactly have close ties with Intel, nor the semiconductor industry as a whole, but maybe this is Intel's new way of trying to change the image of the company. Either which way, Intel is apparently planning on building no less than two fabs on the 1,000 acre (~4 square kilometer) site in New Albany, Ohio, which should be the workplace of some 3,000 people once it stands ready in 2025. The article quotes Pat Gelsinger saying "Our expectation is that this becomes the largest silicon manufacturing location on the planet," as Intel has the option to double the land for its new fab site and apparently has plans for as many as eight fabs at the location. Additional fabs obviously depends on demand and crucially if Intel manages to full off its contract foundry business, since without it, it seems unlikely that Intel is going to need the additional six fabs in the foreseeable future, especially as Intel is in the final stages of finishing its new fab in Ireland, while also planning to announce a location for yet another fab somewhere in Europe. The TIME article goes into a lot more details as to what the new fabs mean for Ohio, but doesn't go into much more detail about Intel's plans for its future fabs there. Nice to see more high tech jobs in the USA.

It is an economic boon for the state and its coffers.

There is more information in this article TechTimes and here are some excerpts: "Intel's new $20 billion Ohio chip factory is expected to be the largest silicon manufacturing location across the globe. This would greatly help the giant SoC developer once the manufacturing location is completed. The company confirmed that the 1,000 acres location in New Albany, Ohio, will soon have two large chip manufacturing plants." "According to USA Today's latest report, Intel is expected to build a total of eight fabrication plants in the Ohio manufacturing site in the next decade." "Aside from this, the tech manufacturer also plans to invest $100 billion more in the coming years and another $100 million in partnership with colleges and universities in Ohio." "Gelsinger claimed that the Ohio manufacturing location could expand up to 2,000 acres. Because of this, this factory location is expected to become the "Silicon Heartland" because of its size."

The thing is that people in USA are payed differently, no cheap labor there.. so maybe the prices will rise

Possibly or stay the same at the current prices but either way, most of it is automated.

YEAH ive seen a NESTLE factory here in PORTUGAL that's 95% or more automated mode maybe 5 people in there to oversee the process ( 1 ou 2 engineers plus some technicians just in case something goes wrong) still it doesn't mean cheaper products because automation costs depends on the hardware used and usually is uber expensive... and trust they will want to get back that all those billions invested

While that may be true in the short term, it's still economically viable in the long run.

That's true the first two plants are for 2025 and the other six will be phased in with total completion in ten years. ( TechTimes)

It's great to see these fabs being build here, but we might never see the prices from 2019 again. And people thought tariffs on imports were a great idea.

The one thing that Intel needs to do with new fabs is to ensure that they can produce extremely small die manufacturing to reduce their dependence on TSMC.

austin86 So I have some info on the plant, I live rather close by to were its being built and wile I don't want to give away too much with Intel being Intel, NDAs and hush hush stuff. But what I can say is the 2025 date is super miss leading. Phase one will be done in 2025 an the pant will start up then, but the plant will not be 100% done and operational for 10 years at best.
these automated factories are huge people have no idea of the ludicrous amount of wires and cables needed, the thousands of hours programing every bit of code of the automated process of each section ...and in the end it has to be perfect.. fluid... fast! among other things.. it will take MANY YEARS!
