Intel gets OK for $2.5 billion China fab

SHANGHAI — Intel Corp has won approval to build a $2.5billion, 12-inch wafer plant in northern China for CPU chip sets,according to a statement issued Tuesday from China's NationalDevelopment and Reform Commission.The plant would use 90-nanometer technology and produce 52,000wafers a month at full capacity, according to the NDRC, which isChina's top planning group. The plan calls for the fab to be in thecity of Dalian. Little more was known, but sources familiar with the project said an announcement is expected from Intel in the next few weeks. Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said, "We have announced no plans and will not comment on speculation of this nature." If true, the development could have wide-ranging impact on the USsemiconductor industry. The US government exercises tight control overthe export of advanced high-tech manufacturing techniques, and thatshould restrict Intel from using anything under 0.18 micron in China.Even its NOR flash is made on more advanced processes. Intel building a fab in China would signal a loosening of exportcontrol policy, and allow US semiconductor gear makers to increasesales to China. Yet such a development would also contradict a currentBush administration attempt to tighten export control policy in regards to China. In January, an official at the Dalian Economic Technological Development Zone confirmed that it was in talks with Intel. "It's not only for packaging," the official said, declining to offer more details. China is Intel's second largest market behind the US, so there is goodreason for the company to consider putting a plant here. Chipsets wouldbe a way to experiment with advanced production here. Currently, Intelalso farms out some of its chipset production to Asian foundries. Yet there is also good reason to be skeptical about such aproject. Rumors that Intel will build a chip plant in China havecropped up perennially for at least five years. Each time nothing hashappened, or the "advanced" chip making facility turned out to be achip packaging plant. Intel runs such plants in Shanghai and Chengdu. Long-time rumors have also held that Intel will build a plant in India.

90nm的，看头不大。

建一个大概要2年，
等投产，最早都要到2010年。
90nm也太古董了。:lol:

又把“淘汰”的生产线运到中国来。。。:funk:

据《华尔街日报》报道，Intel将在我国大连兴建一座大型芯片生产工厂，总投资约25亿美元。

据悉，该工厂将用于生产12寸晶圆，月产能52000块，而结合此前路透社的消息，该工厂会部署新的65nm工艺，而这也将是Intel在亚洲的第一座65nm级别工厂。

虽然此前Intel在中国上海和成都有设厂，但只负责芯片的测试和封装，并非生产制造，而将来的大连工厂将源源不断地输出“Made in China”的Intel处理器。

《华尔街日报》称，Intel的建厂计划已经得到我国政府的大力支持，不久就会正式对外公布。

难道mydrivers已经把它升级为65nm工艺了？

The claim is still unsubstantiated, and there are a number of difficulties associated with meeting such a goal.

First, U.S. trade regulations prohibit Intel from sharing technology with China pertaining to the manufacturing of devices with features smaller than 180 nm. These rules would need to be changed, or at least bent, in order to allow for the production of a 65 nm facility. Second, semiconductor fabs take years to build from the ground up, so by the time the facility was finished, 65 nm dual-core processors would no longer be "high-end." Third and last, given Intel's history in China, it is far more likely that the Chinese are hyping a project that will turn out to be another packaging plant. Meanwhile, China is Intel's second-largest customer, so it would make sense to build more manufacturing facilities in the country. Unfortunately, Intel has not yet commented on this development. Only time can tell whether this is just another rumor.

1 这些贸易限制都是事在人为的。实际上，米国的政府和议员也都清楚，即使米国不允许在中国建设先进制程的晶圆厂，中国也是有办法获得这些技术的，比如说从台湾。况且制程这种东西发展的很快，从即使在投产的时候工艺就泄露了，在中国可以学习掌握之前，下一代制程也已经投产了。这种做法只能人为的抬高生产成本，削弱竞争力而已。
2 65nm DC CPU过时的问题，其实用不着太在意。我们关心的主要是投资、就业、带动技术进步、拉动经济增长。至于我们买到的处理器在哪里生产并不重要。事实上，我认为这个晶圆厂多半不会生产处理器，以防止设计泄密，这个应该也是Intel和米国官方的妥协。多半是生产芯片组，无线网络芯片之类的。
3 按照现在的惯例，一般都是等到中国和米国政府都批准了之后才会宣布的。从以前的大事件来看，传言是很可能变成事实的～

中国批准英特尔在东北投建芯片厂
2007年03月14日08:28


中国国家发展和改革委员会(National Development and Reform Commission,简称：发改委)周二称，已批准英特尔(IntelCorp.)在中国东北城市大连投资建设一座总值25亿美元的芯片工厂。英特尔是全球第一大芯片制造商。

发改委在其官方网站上发布公告称，该工厂将生产直径为12英寸的90纳米晶圆，月产能为52,000块。

不过英特尔媒体关系部门管理人士Nancy Zhang拒绝置评，表示英特尔尚未就此发表任何声明。

分析师们称，在中国设厂拉近了英特尔与客户的距离，有助于其节约成本。也是中国在发展半导体行业上买进了重要一步。诸如合同制造商广达电脑股份有限公司(Quanta Computer Inc.,简称：广达电脑)等电子产品制造商纷纷将工厂迁移至中国大陆，目的是从大陆快速发展的消费市场，尤其是个人电脑及手机市场上获利，另外，在大陆设厂有助于这些公司降低劳动力成本。

英特尔建厂正值中国政府积极鼓励各行各业开发和采用高端技术之际。同时，英特尔仍在与高级微设备公司(Advanced Micro Devices Inc.)争夺市场占有率。

美国一家市场研究公司iSuppli Corp.驻上海的中国研究部门负责人Byron Wu表示，若英特尔成功在华建厂，有助于该公司在与高级微设备公司的竞争中降低后勤成本，同时能够缩短英特尔与客户间的距离。

他补充表示，2007年中国芯片市场的整体规模将增长18%至20%，约为450亿美元，2006年的市场规模约为370亿美元。其中用于个人电脑的芯片收入占中国芯片市场全部收入的25%至30%。

英特尔目前在上海及成都设有芯片组装和测试工厂。不过这仅体现了芯片制造过程中的低端技术。

该公司去年12月份曾表示，将在五年内投资超过10亿美元用于扩大在印度的业务，其中包括扩建在印度南部城市班加罗尔的研发中心。

的确是驱家升的级
