Don't worry, the vulture lobbyists will come back begging for a CHIPS 3.0 grand giveaway. And when the lobbyists do return? Everybody will applaud it like they did the first one.

The Hillsboro facility is already a giant "mega-lab". It's the R&D hub of the entire company.

Some of the labs in the D1 facility are so secure they have x-ray gun locks on the doors. It takes a 3D scan of your skull and compares it to a model on record. If they match then the door opens.

What is your point? They agreed to build this thing and cancelled because the government isn't paying enough of the bill even though Intel can easily afford it. They likely already got incentives linked to this new lab as well.

This is why I refuse to spend a dime on Intel products. They're a bunch of scum bags, beyond even nVidia.
