China do not contain only the largest part of computer user but also the region where producers are invested largest volume. For example, intel company is present in China already 22 years, investments volume in the development of local assembly-line productions and research centers will soon reach $4 billion in this value will enter $2.5 billion, which company intends to put in the building Of fab 68 in Daljan city .
Fab 68 will become the first intel factory on the production of semiconductor in Asia, and also the first in 15 years factory, built from zero. The previous intel new construction was Fab 10, whose building began in Ireland in 1992. All the remaining intel factories since then only underwent modernization or expansion. The acting intel productions in China imply only to testing and packing processors;
The factory in question will be built in 2010, it will release chipset from 300 mm silicic plates already in 2010. In the opinion of some sources, these chipsets will be first released with the use of 90 nm technical process, which makes Chinese Fab 68 not advanced factories as other countries - in 2010 they will master not only 65 nm technical process, but also 45 nm technical process.
Let us note that for intel company it was necessary to obtain American authorities to export technologies with similar level to China. Government follows the observance of national interests in the sphere of high technologies export . Approval was obtained, and the building Of fab 68 can become the first step to the appearance in China of other intel production capacities .
