Not all Intel stuff is made in the US

How many factories do you have worldwide, where are they located and what percentage of your workforce do they employ?
Intel has 15 wafer fabs in production worldwide at nine locations. Fab production sites within the United States are located in Chandler, Ariz.; Santa Clara, Calif.; Colorado Springs, Colo.; Hudson, Mass.; Rio Rancho, N.M.; and Hillsboro, Ore.; and outside the United States in Leixlip, Ireland; Jerusalem, Israel; and Kiryal Gat, Israel. Two new fabs are under construction at existing sites in Arizona and Israel. The company has six assembly and test sites worldwide and is building a seventh, all of them outside the U.S. Assembly and test sites outside the United States are located in Shanghai, China; Chengdu, China; San Jose, Costa Rica; Kulim, Malaysia; Penang, Malaysia; and Cavite, Philippines. An assembly and testing site in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, is under construction. There is one testing facility and one assembly development facility inside the U.S. About half of Intel’s total workforce is involved in production or production services.

I think with the language barrier it is easier for Taiwanese to associate the "Core 2" with high quality Intel products. I believe on a similar note, here in the US, companies would meet the bare minimum specs of "Core Duo" and market them as if the processor was a dual core so many ignorant computer buyers purchased them.

looking at those prices seems like the i7 860 is about 230$, which if it's sold for that price. i will buy one as soon as it's out... and if the mother boards are affordable 180-200$

Agreed. 1366 means we can upgrade to i9 w/o a new mobo

Ramzinho · 08-15-09

well if the new 1156 pushed the i7 920 for lower prices i think i can easily go i7.. 920 for the sake of i9... that's a good point from you guys up there...
