Germany negotiations reportedly back on track for Magdeburg fab too
Intel will spend up to $4.6 billion building an assembly and testing facility located outside Wroclaw, Poland.comes more than a year after Intel shared its plan to expand its presence in the country. While much of the fanfare around Intel's foundry push has centered around fabrication sites in the US and Germany, the Polish facility will play a supporting role in the chipmaker's European expansion.
Once complete in 2027, Intel says the facility will employ 2,000 full-time workers, with the goal of taking completed wafers from neighboring fabs, cutting them down into individual chips, and finally testing and packaging them. Intel notes that the facility will also be able to accept individual chips for assembly into final products, in line with the promise of Intel Foundry Services with its advanced packaging technologies. Many of Intel's internal products rely on third-party manufacturing from the likes of TSMC. The company's Ponte Vecchio series of datacenter GPUs is just one example.
While Intel says it will invest up to $4.6 billion in the site, it's not clear how much of that could be covered by local government subsidies or by funds made available under the newly passedThe decision to build the facility in Poland is less of a mystery. The x86 giant has existing offices in Gdańsk and would put assembly services in relative proximity to its planned Magdeburg, Germany fab site.
"Poland is already home to Intel operations and is well positioned to work with Intel sites in Germany and Ireland. It is also very cost-competitive with other manufacturing locations globally and offers a great talent base," Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said in a statement.
