Intel rethinking chips
investment as Congress dithers on funding
由於國會在資金上猶豫不決，英特爾重新考慮晶片廠投資案
【摘要2021.11.17.三.自由】◎管淑平
Intel Corp. is weighing scuttling a
multibillion-dollar investment in a new semiconductor manufacturing plant as
efforts to boost the industry stall in Congress, according to the company’s
head of government relations.
根據英特爾公司的政府關係負責人說法，由於國會提振半導體產業的努力陷入停滯，英特爾正考慮放棄一項投資數十億美元，新建一座半導體製造廠的計畫。
The company plans to develop and build a
facility at a U.S. location yet to be named, representing a boon to the future
of the domestic industry, one that may not be possible without government
assistance.
該公司計畫在美國一處尚未公布的地點新建一座廠房，這將有利於國內半導體產業的未來，但沒有政府的協助，此案或許就不可能實現。
"We aren’t going to be able to do
that without CHIPS funding,” said Al Thompson, head of U.S. government
relations for Intel, referring to legislation that would provide $52 billion in
grants and incentives to semiconductor manufacturers.
「沒有晶片法案的資金，我們就沒辦法做到」，英特爾美國政府關係部門負責人艾爾‧湯普森說，意指提供半導體產業520億美元補助和獎勵的法案。
