Given Intel’s ongoing efforts to reduce costs and streamline operations, what are your thoughts on the future of the Aloha Campus, Hawthorn Farm, and Jones Farm sites? Do you believe Intel may consider selling these campuses and consolidating operations at Ronler Acres?
Let’s more focus on Aloha Campus.
If you get a chance, check out the historical photos of Aloha.
In 1974, Fab 4 was built in what was then the middle of a farm, with nothing around it but empty fields. It was the first Intel fab in Oregon and must have hired some settlers off the Oregon trail or something, for what now is a store room but once was a (very tiny) fab.
This is way before CPU chips, when the company was making memory and other simple devices for the military and such.
Intel needs two fabs - one for HVM process and other for TD process.
@ap Sorry but Aloha still means goodbye.
@bd Can't sell Aloha cause then Intel would lose the worlds smallest fab.
It is like 20 ft square, from back in the day when the workers used to wire the transistors together by hand or something.
Even F15 is like really, really small, but the site stands out on its relentless focus on cost.
HF is the mystery to me because it really has no reason to still be an Intel site. It has office park written all over it.
Fire the Intel board ! Jonesin at Alaha Farmington !
What happened to the sale of Ronler Acres to a developer who was going to demolish it and build housing next to the train station??
They already tried to abandon HF but weren't able to.
With the impending foundry split (unless LBT changes the path) they really can't do a good consolidation in Oregon. JF is mostly product teams where HF is Foundry.
I think they are too smooth brained to figure out what to do with Aloha.
Stay in your fu---n lane.
Intel must do whatever lowers cost and makes the business more efficient. Intel is in a survival mode not a growth mode.
Intel will gradually shift all semicon manufacturing to Arizona. That is the growing "Silicon Desert" of the US.
How in the heck can you hear pronunciation in a chat? Flying high again?
Fyi Its pronounced A low ah, not a low ha...
Jones Farm is too big and diverse to be sold. Aloha is a better candidate for divestment or closure.
@OP Aloha means hello and sayonara a** clowns!
