thread: fyi... Intel to Invest $6B in Chip Production TOKYO (Reuters) - Intel Corp (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) Chief Executive Craig Barrett said on Monday his company will invest $6 billion this year to increase its chip production capacity amid rising global demand for computer chips. ``Given the strength in the information technology (IT) economy...we're liable to see a shortage of semiconductors across the board in the year 2000 and perhaps next year,' Barrett told a news conference in Tokyo. Barrett was in Tokyo to attend a forum on e-business. Intel, the world's biggest chipmaker, will spend about 80 percent of this year's $6 billion in chip investment on manufacturing capacity for computer chips and the remaining 20 percent on the production of flash memory chips, Barrett said.
