Hey big spender
Intel isn’t letting the economy slow them down, having just announced a $7 billion plan to build or upgrade manufacturing facilities within the USA over the next 2 years. It would seem that the majority of Intel’s 32nm chips will be fabbed in the USA, perhaps pushing their overall american manufacturing above the 75% mark.
