The Israeli government announced this week that it has approved a plan submitted by Intel Corp. regarding upgrading its fab in Kiryat Gat. Under the terms of the plan the chip giant intends to significantly modernize its semiconductor manufacturing facility in order to build chips using 10nm process technology there.

 

Intel plans to spend as much as $6 billion (€4.67 billion, £3.66) on the upgrades necessary to make chips using the forthcoming 10nm process technology in Kiryat Gat. The government of Israel will grant Intel $300 million over five years in subsidies and the world’s largest chip designer will be eligible to pay a corporate tax rate of only 5 per cent for a 10-year period, reports Reuters news-agency.

Well, this is cool! As some of you may know, Isreal tends to be pretty high up in technological research. I remember hearing how they came up with a contact that had a camera that could connect to the optic nerve so that a blind person could see, or something like that.

 

Either way, this will be interesting.

Hopefully its safe there...

 

"Hey <Insert Middle Eastern Anti-Semitic Faction Of Your Choice>!"

 

"What?! We're trying demolish Israel!"

 

"Hey, uh you think you could stop trying to destroy Israel?"

 

"Why would we want to do that?!"

 

"I hear Intel is investing in a 10 fabrication facility there!"

I originally input ISIS, but there are a lot of other groups hating on Israel besides them. So I'll let you decide which one!

What I want is a chip the size of that entire wafer. In 6nm. And I want it now,on an Asus workstation board from 300 years into the future, supporting crystallized dilithium memory and all subspace nanofiber tracing. And heatsinks made of impossibrum. Transparent silicone PCB, of course. 7 PCIx x512 slots and 26 Thunderbolt MXVII ports.

 

Anything over a nanosecond of rendering time on a 1 hour video in 32K resolution and I'll be pissed.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Skylake is coming right on its heels at the start of H2 2015. Intel has 2 10nm fabs. already built in China. This might be for Cannonlake's successor since they still need time to get UVL working. They're not using ultraviolet for Cannonlake because it won't be ready in time, meaning it's expense and production time will be higher.

If Intel spends as much money as Microsoft on Minecraft on their facilities, we would have 8nm chips on our PCs by next year.

I don't understand why Intel chooses Israel. It's not like this is Asia where the biggest incentive is cheap labour.

Why build your factory thousands of kilometers away? Isn't that inefficient?

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

Israel wanted Intel to put one there, and I guess Ireland was battling with Israel to get the plant. Also this isn't the first thing Intel did for Israel, they've been doing things there for a while so it isn't that surprising they're doing more.
