    Another offshoring shambles

    Looks like Intels attempt to offshore chip design and production to India has ended in tears. Who would have thought it?

    Intel's fab in Israel pretty much saved them bakon (sp?) by developing Pentium M. Dunno about Indian chip designers but in Israel they certainly know their stuff.

      I've been to Intel at Har Hotzvim. Very impressive it is too.

            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              It is just as well that Intel Israel didn't design their chip at thier Qiryat Gat plant - otherwise we could now have the "Pentium Qiryat Gat".

                and it would still pi$$ on an AMD (motto - it's cheaper for a reason).

                  Fecking AMD is no longer cheap -- they now sell some non-server processors for like $1k
