The processor giant Intel is expanding in countries like Germany and Poland. In Malaysia, Intel already has an established presence. Here, Intel Malaysia does a lot of testing as well as the sorting and packaging of the microchips. Notebookcheck was given a rare peek behind the curtain.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Notebookcheck-on-location-A-peek-behind-the-curtain-of-Intel-s-Malaysian-factories.746322.0.html
Who cares? This time would have been better spent reviewing notebooks. Stick to your lane, you're good at it.
@Who cares?
If that is the case: Stick to commenting on articles you care about, this time would have been better spent commenting on a review. 😉
So come on: Maybe this is not interesting to you, but I think it will certainly find a few readers who can get something out of it. Don't be such a cynic.
What's happening is the review and eventually some readers start to take on the perspective of the companies, calling PCs "client PCs" even though they can work perfectly well without a "server," referring to chip functions as "IP" like they're holy objects, and pretending the only thing that's important is games.
This is not helpful.
Save this kind of article for National Geographic.
Very nice and interesting article! Great photos too! Is it really THAT yellow inside (wafer sorting pics) or is it even yellower but it looks brighter because of camera? 😳
@Neenyah,
It actually is that yellow inside - Intel told us the amber light is used to make sure there is no harmful UV light in that room.
Thanks for your kind words!
As a Malaysian, I'm really proud to see this kind of coverage. In the old days, most of us used to believe that we are completely hopeless when it comes to computer-related manufacturing, particularly CPU. Those old days are now gone, for sure.
Not sure how I clicked onto this but it is very interesting indeed to understand the variety of steps needed to reach the consumer for products like chips. Interesting for an investor like me who is always looking for opportunities in the supply chain.
