I can't imagine it was cheaper moving out there. I think they did it just because New Albany is so hot right now.
And the "Intel Saves Ohio" thing looks farther and father away every day.
Especially when the Governor and the Intel rep went onto NPR (I think) and cut an interview and it did not match anything what the local media is pushing to the people. I'll look for it but they straight up said it was going to house 30-40 people at most and anytime chip production was needed they were going to bring in already experience workers from another plant. I don't get it. The CHIPS act was already a bust for the area.
I remember hearing that - it was supposed to be a demand equalizing plant.
DeWino is still sucking down the copium and hopium with the place - I don't even think they have the water situation figured out in that area. It's technically close to Johnstown, which is a sleepy farm burg. At minimum they're going to destroy that water plant.
Last I heard was the roll-out date was being pushed farther out, and the outgoing Intel CEO was the one all hyped about the plant. The rest of them, not so much.
Qualcomm backed out but now Apple might be interested in Intel. AMD is a far better chip (just one PC left with Intel. The rest are all AMDs now).
