Intel’s CEO Pat Gelsinger is choosing big domestic chip manufacturing investments over short-term shareholder rewards, and he has a big fan: President Biden.
Betting on chips for technology not yet invented
For the Rust Belt communities in Ohio, though, Intel's investment is being viewed as a big win right now. of multinational companies moving some of their manufacturing home from sites across the globe, typically Asia, where labor historically has been cheaper. Semiconductor industry jobs are expected to surge in the U.S. over the next three years, indicated by the announcements of new U.S. plants in Arizona, Ohio and Texas from Intel, Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. These plants will expand the semiconductor supply chain by allowing chipmakers the capacity to design chips for products we'll be wanting three to four years from now, says Priestley. The fabs won't make the U.S.
Small business proponents near New Albany, Ohio, hope that's the case once Intel's new semiconductor fab — its first new manufacturing site in 40 years — goes online in 2025. Intel says the site will create 3,000 Intel jobs and 7,000 construction jobs over the next three years. It also hopes to support"tens of thousands of additional local long-term jobs across a broad ecosystem of suppliers and partners," according to its announcement.
