Only interesting due to the fact that the fab is 15 minutes from me, otherwise probably not of interest to most...

Re: Fab42 is finally open!!
Its not a short process but starting in 2011 it took them awhile. I actually reported on it for an Intel based website.

Re: Fab42 is finally open!!
It was actually "complete" in 2014, but they never opened because they decided there wasn't enough demand for anything it would have the ability to produce. It opened a while ago in extremely limited quantity, I knew a couple people that worked there. But now in full production.
I had not previously known that this fab has the ability to handle 450mm wafers, that's kinda neat (to me).

We knew it been completed in 2014 but were patiently waiting for something to happen, Its a long time for a large fab facility to just sit idle.

Yeah, it's been a long time. They had just started construction on it when I had moved to Phoenix!! I had actually applied for a job there years ago when I was between VZW and here.

That would have been an amazing place to work had you gotten a job there.
