Intel hits construction milestone at Ohio chip fab that’s at least 5 years behind schedule
Intel reached a major construction milestone at its chip fabrication plant in New Albany, Ohio, by installing its first major structural truss. This $28 billion project remains at least five years behind its original schedule and is now targeting operations by 2030. Despite the factory expansion progress, the company has not yet announced a major outside customer for the site. Meanwhile, Intel continues factory expansion efforts elsewhere, including tooling its sixth Arizona chip factory at Fab 62 and confirming High-NA EUV for high volume manufacturing in 2028.
