History

Historical Context

In the 1990s Intel expanded U.S. chip production, adding a large Arizona fab that marked a shift toward domestic manufacturing. Building on that legacy, Intel announced a $20 billion Ohio facility in January 2022 projected to create 10,000 jobs, and SK Hynix’s 2024 talks to lease space there aim to extend the reshoring push for U.S. memory chips.
