The American tech giant already employs 11,700 people in Israel and has invested more than $50 billion in the country over the last 50 years.

Intel now wants to expand its existing chipmaking factory at Kiryat Gat — about 16 miles northeast of Gaza — undeterred by the October 7 attacks and the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. Reuters earlier reported the news.

I cannot wait for the day I get my hands on a RISC-V computer and can forget the dumpster fire that is x86_64. It goes without saying, avoid buying a intel machine if you can. AMD CPUs are a good enough substitute.

Making tough calls like this is why I deserve millions in salary and benefits.
