The U.S. Department of Commerce confirmed on Tuesday it has awarded $7.865 billion to chip giant Intel under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act, a federal statute signed into law by President Joe Biden in 2022 to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing. The funding will go toward manufacture and advanced packaging (techniques to assemble and integrate multiple semiconductor chips into a single package) projects in Intel facilities across Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, and Oregon. "Strong bipartisan support for restoring American technology and manufacturing leadership is driving historic investments that are critical to the country's long-term economic growth and national security," Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said in a statement. "Intel is deeply committed to advancing these shared priorities as we further expand our U.S. operations over the next several years."
