Intel has reportedly chosen to build a new megachip production facility at a site in Magdeburg, eastern Germany, after sites in France, Belgium, Poland and the Netherlands.
The chipmaker has said in the past that it plans to invest up to 80 billion euros in new semiconductor plants in Europe. Germany crowned the list of possible sites, and the sites are thought to be in Bavaria, as well as in Magdeburg and Dresden.
According to Reuters, Intel has now opted for Magdeburg, but there is still no official announcement of the chip, with a resolution to be made public on March 4. We reached out to Intel to confirm, but the company declined to comment.
The move would be part of five-year expansion and renewal plans discussed through Intel leader Pat Gelsinger a few weeks ago, where he defined Intel’s plans to one of the world’s largest foundry operators.
Gelsinger said he hopes the U. S. will be able to The U. S. will grow from 12% to 30% of global semiconductor production capacity by the end of the decade, while Europe will go from 9% to 20%, in an attempt to catch up with Asian countries that dominate chip production. .
It also revealed announcements that Intel has ambitious plans to put five new production technologies (procedure nodes) into production by 2025. Previously, it took Intel 3 to five years to bring a new procedure node online.
The move is from the Intel Integrated Device Manufacturing (IDM) 2. 0 strategy, which Gelsinger unveiled last year as a plan to revitalize the chipmaker’s fortune, which includes a $20 billion investment in two new production plants in Arizona.
From those plans, Intel recently acquired Tower Semiconductor, a company specializing in manufacturing high-value analog semiconductor parts with facilities in Israel, the United States, Japan and Italy.
This resolution follows the European Commission’s resolution to outline the European law on chips in early February. This law targets the European semiconductor industry by attracting investments in studios as well as new semiconductor production functions to help Europe as a whole become more autonomous in the semiconductor industry. market.
Intel analysts were waiting to see precisely what was in the European chip law before making a business decision on a European location. ®
On Monday, an organization of software engineers plans to launch an organization called “Open Web Advocacy” to help online apps compete with local apps and inspire or force Apple to impose restrictions on its iOS browser.
The organization (OWA), organized through British developers Stuart Langridge, Bruce Lawson and others, aims to promote a more open Internet by explaining the main sophisticated technical points to legislators and helping them perceive the anti-competitive aspects of Internet technology. In recent months, members of the organization have contacted the UK’s Markets and Competition Authority (CMA) to convince the company that Apple’s iOS browser policy is hurting competition.
Along with the launch of the organisation’s website, the OWA plans to publish a whitepaper entitled “Bringing Competition to Walled Gardens”, which summarises the organisation’s position and aims to help regulators in the UK and elsewhere perceive the consequences of internet generation restrictions. The organization is for like-minded developers to champion their cause.
MWC vendors are launching their newest hardware at Mobile World Congress and they are Lenovo, with its first Snapdragon ThinkPad.

Interview Today, it’s been 10 years since the Raspberry Pi went on sale. We spoke to Supreme Pi Eben Upton about the last decade and what the long term might hold.
The Raspberry Pi team chose to mark the milestone on February 28, it is the last day of the month this year; for many, February 29, 2012 was the first time the sets became available. Looking back at 2012, the numbers seem almost far away. -Brought when you were going as things were going.
The UK government has advised its citizens to hand over their passports to Facebook as a condition of the service.
The country’s next online protection bill will require citizens to hand over even more non-public knowledge to social media platforms whose headquarters are largely foreign, government minister Nadine Dorries said.

British Internet pioneer Cliff Stanford, founder of Demon Internet, left last week.
Stanford also created Redbus Investments, which invested in a number of projects, adding intermediate placement and knowledge services (Redbus Interhouse) and a first online movie service (Redbus Films), and a well-known chess and sports enthusiast. He has also been concerned at the London Internet Exchange and the Internet Watch Foundation. However, it was like the discoverer of Demon Internet who discovered fame and fortune, as attested by the many Britons who once had an email address ending in “demon. co”. United Kingdom. “
He has been an entrepreneur. As a child, he had a newspaper field trip at his local Southend. In order to increase sales, one of the newspapers introduced a promotion to young people who distributed newspapers: whoever got the maximum subscriptions would earn a motorcycle.

Stress testing protection is the only way to make sure it works. Until then, the worst security is very similar to the best. As the cases in Ukraine show, leaving the stress test of hypotheses until a risk attack is unnecessarily costly.
However, if an unproven solution is not a solution at all, the challenge is how to outline a good enough test. When it comes to security, how is your day job going?

Apple has filed a patent application for a device that, waiting for it, has the computer and keyboard in a single unit. Spirit. soufflant. One exception: what did all computers look like?
The U. S. patent application 20220057845 describes a “computer in an input device,” which is just one way to visualize this unexpected innovation. Another may simply be an input device stuck in the most sensitive part of a computer. It’s a kind of philosophical enigma.
Apple’s patent poets are lyrical: “A computing device can come with a speaker that defines an internal volume and an external surface. An input component can be located on the external surface. A processing unit and a memory can be coupled into a communiqué and arranged in the internal volume. “
India’s most recent Chinese app ban circular removed apps from a Singapore company, and the percentage value, leaving government officials asking incisive questions.

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues, the tech industry is trying to use it to make a difference, and to remain the only one available, as war makes it harder to operate.
Nation-state responses to the invasion were led by the European Commission, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States, which together banned Russian entities from employing the Society for Global Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) on Saturday. cash movement services. This prevents Russian banks from conducting cross-border transactions using virtual generation; however, Russia is almost capable of using virtual generation in the service of its illegal invasion.
