For now, Intel plans to start producing chips within six months to try to solve its shortage in automobile lines in the United States within an investment plan of more than 16,000 million euros.
The plan includes opening two factories in Arizona and then expanding to other locations in the United States and Europe. Intel competes with Taiwan and South Korea, the two powers that dominate 70% of the global chip market.
