Intel shared some details about its Oregon fab expansion plans. Later this year, the chip giant plans to start construction of phase 3 of its D1X fab in Oregon, an expansion that will be similar in size to each of the first two phases of D1X. Full details
at AnandTech.
As a part of its preparations to begin construction, Intel had to notify local residents about its intentions. On Monday the company contacted 50 residents living near its Ronler Acres campus about its intention to build a third phase of its D1X manufacturing facility. Just like the previous two buildings, the new fab will be approximately 1.1 million square feet (~102 thousand square meters) in size, according to a media report, but Intel yet has to disclose its official numbers. In addition to the factory, the company will have to build a new technology building with emergency generators, and utilities.
The new fab is expected to come online in the coming years.
