Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger grew up in Pennsylvania but is pleased to be building $20B fabs in next-door Ohio given his Midwestern roots, he told crowds at the Ohio groundbreaking.
This expanding list of fabs coming to the US includes some gaining impetus from the $52 billion US CHIPS Act passed in August. However, available land, an educated workforce, local contributions of dollars and streamlined regulations all figure in where fabs are going to be built. Some projects are firmer than others.
GlobalFoundries and Qualcomm: An expanded GF footprint in upstate New York got a boost from Qualcomm to commit to buy $7 billion in chips through 2028 that are used in 5G, automotive, Wi-Fi and IoT.
