One week ago it became obvious that Intel has delivery problems with its chipsets because the maximum capacity of the present factories is reached. Now, the Californian will invest 345 million dollar in two older American chip factories.
The money flows into the Fab17 in Hudson (Massachusetts) and in the Fab23 in Colorado Springs where a new clean room will be installed. In this Fab, the 300-mm-wafer coming from other places will be processed. Within one year the additional capacities are supposed to be operationally, hundreds of new jobs are expected. About 300 jobs are expected in Hudson.
The development team of the Itanium in Fort Collins (Colorado) extended through the employment of new workers and the purchase of new offices.
