Intel Magdeburg Factory Postponed to 2029/2030, Billions in State Subsidies Could Get Redistributed

28nm is considered old by now and probably all possible problems that can occur in the manufacturing process, solved.
Not good enough. We need chips for the military, too. You can't just add 100kg to a plane because you can't miniaturize a radar enough.
Intel seems to be unwilling or unable to invest in EU, I am pretty sure that TSMC wouldn't be interested either, I am pretty sure also that others will convince them to not expand to EU, China isn't an option because EU countries fear to go against US, so the only option, other than pay and beg, is to start an EU program about chip manufacturing. European Engineers can be found probably in the GlobalFoundries' factory in Dresden.
We love regulating anything and everything, unions... That's doesn't put us on top for companies looking to invest. We have to work to make ourselves attractive. That can mean subsidies. It can mean something else.

But I guess that is the upside of China kicking us in our Taiwan nuts: we have to wake up and do something.
