* The financial stake in that shitty little country is growing. Given political instability over there, this may be not such a smart move, unless is completely sure that the US will stand with shittistan no matter what. I am wondering what factors beyond purely economical are in play. Looks like the kikes are footing part of the bill. Or better, Americans do as ones financing shittistan. Does it feel good that your taxes find way back to private corporations?
Intel has quite a bit of R&D investment in shittistan. I don't think operating costs there are low. One can argue they have technological talent, but that's the case in many other countries, including the US. *

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told cabinet ministers on Sunday that he had been informed by Intel Corp.'s (Nasdaq:INTC - news) head that the U.S. electronic chip giant plans to build another plant in Israel.
"I spoke yesterday with the head of Intel, Craig Barrett, who informed me the company had decided to build another plant in Kiryat Gat (in southern Israel) in an investment of about $4 billion," Sharon was quoted as telling the cabinet meeting in a statement issued by his office.
A spokesman for Intel in Israel declined to comment.
**The Prime Minister's Office, together with the Industry and Trade Ministry and the Finance Ministry, have put together a framework for government aid to Intel to set up the plant, the Industry and Trade Ministry said in a separate statement.
The ministry said its Investment Center would give a grant of 15 percent of the investment up to $3.5 billion, for a total of $525 million.**
Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that the government in 2001 had originally agreed to give a grant to Intel of 12.5 percent of the investment but recently Intel had asked the state to raise its grant to 20 percent.
The compromise of 15 percent is worth an additional $90 million. The grant is subject to a professional survey, Netanyahu said.
The plant, which several countries around the world have been lobbying for, will employ 2,000 workers in Kiryat Gat -- home to another factory that makes Pentium processors and other Intel chips. Intel employs nearly 6,000 in a number of chip manufacturing plants and development centers in Israel. The company has been operating in Israel for 30 years.
"I see in this decision a declaration of complete faith in Israel's economic policy and stability," Sharon said.
Intel will submit to the Investment Center by the end of July a plan for its investment, the ministry said.
The center will then review Intel's request with an aim of completing the examination process as quickly as possible. It will seek to issue a letter of approval by December 31 and the investment will be carried out over a period of no more than 5 years.
Intel's Israeli subsidiary exported nearly $1.2 billion of products in 2004.

In the coming war in the Middle East I sure as hell hope that they blow away all those plants.

When it comes time to buy a computer, get one with an AMD processor. Spend your $$ with the competition.

[QUOTE=Blond Knight]When it comes time to buy a computer, get one with an AMD processor. Spend your $$ with the competition.[/QUOTE] AMD's current chips, the Athlon 64s, are faster, draw less power, and cost less than Intel's Pentium 4s. Intel is abandoning the Pentium 4 architecture, because it is actually less efficient than the Pentium 3. Their newer chips, such as the Pentium M (which is used in Centrino laptops) are modified Pentium 3s. Intel is also being investigated by the Japanese government and sued in the US by AMD for monopolistic practices. Buy AMD if you have the choice.

Bill Gates is officially a c**t. Why not build that plant in America, or just up capacity in Washington, Texas, Tennessee . . . what ever?
What a sh**head. Traitor.
I guess I need to get a bit smarter, so I can run Linux. Got some work to do over the next year.

And I'm supposed to be upset by this?
With each mosque that gets levelled the world becomes a better place. Kind of like imagining the Caribbean minus Cuba.
