Steve & Intel Investors - INTEL IS HIRING !
Although the ever-vigilant News Media - C|NET, CMP, Stiff-Davis, and Tom Kurlak, etc, love to repeat the Intel Layoff stories, none of them seem to care about Intel's HIRING PLANS.
In today's San Jose Mercury News BUSINESS SECTION (I guess the Business writers and Tom Kurlak don't read the Business Section !) Intel had a half page advertisement for ENGINEERS, Architects, Test Engineers, Validation Engineers, Logic Designers, Circuit Designers, etc. for their Microprocessor Group (MPG).
All told, 18 separate Job Categories were listed and positions were available at TWO SITES - Santa Clara, CA and Fort Collins, Colorado.
Fort Collins ! I'm Sure everybody is screaming "But Intel Ain't GOT NO FACILITY in Fort Collins, Colorado !"
However, That's what the ad said.
But who DOES have a facility in Fort Collins?
Well, Hewlett Packard sure does !
And now Intel has a facility as well !
Since the ad specifically mentioned the "McKinley Product" - and sited that it will have the LARGEST ON CHIP L2 CACHE of any Intel processor - we can safely assume that Intel has an Engineering Design Group in Fort Collins, Colorado working right along with the HP engineers on the "forthcoming" McKinley chip.
And Intel is adding the head count to support this new product!
Cost controls have worked and Intel appears to be on the EXPANSION path again.
