Posted January 21, 2022 Summary Intel has announced plans to build 2 fabs in Central Ohio at a cost of $20 Billion. The fabs will employ 3,000 people and create numerous other jobs. Intel has the option to expand the site to 8 fabs and a total investment of $100 billion. The first chips will be coming off the line in 2025. Quotes Quote "The project, which will be Intel's first new manufacturing site in 40 years, eventually could involve eight factories and $100 billion in investment over the next decade including Intel and its suppliers and partners. Construction is expected to start this year, with the first chips being produced by 2025." My thoughts Yay more production capacity! It won't help the current shortage but at least there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Also as a resident of the area I am very excited to for the community getting a massive long-term investment.

Posted January 21, 2022 With all the new fabs, I wonder if there will be a big surplus in the market in 2 or 3 years, causing prices to crash down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 21, 2022 I am building a lot of experience in manufacturing electronic devices, microsoldering, wire bonding, etc, at my new job. Wonder if it would be worth me moving out of state to one of these new fabs in a few years.

Fab they actually mean the entire facility and supporting services aka the giant ass building(s). Site just means the block of land they legally own. The Hillsboro Oregon site has 4 Fabs, Chandler Arizona site has 5 Fabs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great dream of globalization is unwinding now that Pax Americana has no big-baddie to fight, and the evolving (i.e. rapidly aging) global demographic structure means there will be few places of demand (let alone demand driven growth) left. Trump brought the issue into the conversation (even if he was by-and-large, mostly rhetoric and little follow-through action). Biden is now institutionalizing it.

Posted January 23, 2022 New Albany is one of the richer parts of Columbus. Their property values will probably still skyrocket though I can't wait to become a janitor for Intel in 3 years!!!

The Architect Behind The Curtains, I like to call them. You hardly notice when they’re doing an excellent job, but when you’ve got a terrible (or no) janitor, everyone is miserable.

Most physical and trades jobs are like that, where as if a BA was doing a bad job or just wasn't there I'd be hard pressed to ever notice. A REALLY good BA can make a difference but I rather my rubbish bin emptied regularly and the floor vacuumed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.

Posted January 23, 2022 Actually Chase Bank's HQ isn't too far from New Albany. It's just to the west outside Worthington, which is a suburb northwest of New Albany. About 15-20min drive depending on your start and end locations and traffic. Basically the whole north side of Columbus is the rich side. From Dublin in the NW, Worthington in the North, and Westerville and New Albany in the NE. There's actually a backup data center Chase has in Worthington that they're about to move up to Michigan, I wonder if the other data centers moving in would bring in any benefits worth them reconsidering. It's not some massive data center or anything, it's just in some secure part of one of their call centers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
