Another story from The Register:

Chipzilla has decided to take another run at the mobile chip market, announcing plans to spin as much as US$1.6 billion in the direction of its Chengdu plant in China to achieve its aims.

The money will go towards upgrade a decade-old facility to try to assert its 900-pound-gorilla status in the mobile silicon business, for too long a gap in Intel's strategy.

Details of Intel's intent are fairly sketchy, but the company told China Daily the 2,500-plus employee assembly test site is an important deployment particularly for its “mobility business in the tablet, smartphone, Internet of Things and wearable segments”.

    You always see Hollywood types making action movies in abandoned factories. Those Americans sure are obsessed with outsourcing manufacturing as they watch their empire decline into irrelevance. USA #2, for shit!
