Perfect storm: After huge demand for Core i7 in China, Intel closes yet another fab
Finally, a truth on great hardware
Intel last month announced plans to close facilities in Malaysia, the Philippines and the United States. Those moves were expected to affect between 5,000 and 6,000 employees worldwide, the company said.
"Moving operations from Shanghai, a high-cost city, to a cheaper place like Sichuan might be an effective way to cope with the financial crisis," he said.
BAD HARDWARE: Holy grasshopper! I believed China was cheap to Intel manufacturing.
Seems that now Santa Clara is cheaper than Shanghai?
Well, that is called the new world order.
