RE:"I hope you got your information from the same guy who told you last fall that Willamette was delayed..." Actually that came through Intel employees. And pertained redesign for speed. That was December of last year when Willy was supposed to be a 3rd quarter product. It may yet be (end of sept.)the way they do vapor launches these days. Still say no real volume until 2001 and a lot of things have to go right...November sounds about right for a "real" launch? Paul said Willy is "nearly" in production. Nearly means "not yet". This jives with what else I've heard.

Elmer, Still worried about future capacity? Intel to spend at least $2 billion on Israel plant By Bloomberg News June 26, 2000, 10:25 a.m. PT JERUSALEM--Intel plans to spend $2 billion to $2.5 billion to build a plant in Israel, a spokesman for Israel's Industry and Trade Ministry said. The plant would employ 2,500 workers and make 0.13 micron semiconductors, said Uri Stein, the ministry's spokesman. The company has discussed the plant with ministry officials, though the company hasn't decided exactly where it will be located. "We know of Intel's intention to build a new plant," Stein said. "They will present a plan, and we will try to assist them." Intel is also in talks with the ministry about government aid for a $1 billion expansion of its chip plant in Kiryat Gat, a town in southern Israel where the government provides incentives to investors, Stein said. Intel, which has operated in Israel since 1974, has another facility in Jerusalem and has invested in Israeli companies including DSP Communications. Intel officials in Israel weren't available to comment. Intel's plans were reported earlier by Israel Radio. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel's $1.6 billion Kiryat Gat plant was built with the help of a $608 million grant from the Israeli government. Intel's investment in the plant was the largest by a private concern in Israel at the time it was approved in 1996. Copyright 2000, Bloomberg L.P. All Rights Reserved.
