Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, ‘retires’ — riiiiight – Computerworld
True, Gelsinger had unveiled plans for a $20 billion chipmaking facility in Ohio and expanded operations in Europe. Intel will also — maybe — benefit from billions in aid, thanks to the CHIPS Act to support America’s chip foundry construction. I say maybe because President-elect Donald J. Trump wants to kill CHIPS. He believes tariffs on foreign companies, such as Taiwan-based TSMC, will magically generate…
