Biden Cuts Intel’s Chip Award by More Than $600 Million

Published On Nov 26, 2024, 5:04 AM

Intel has been awarded up to $7.86 billion from the CHIPS Act, but this is a reduction from an initial $8.5 billion due to a recent $3 billion military contract Intel secured for semiconductor production. As part of this funding agreement, Intel has extended timelines for certain projects, including a commitment to invest $90 billion in the U.S. by 2030, down from a previous $100 billion target. The construction timeline for its Ohio chip plants has also been pushed back, with the first plant now expected to open in 2030 instead of 2025.

Despite the reduction in funding, Intel's commitment to invest heavily in U.S. operations and its strategic focus on military contracts could bolster its long-term growth potential. The adjustments in timelines might reflect market realities, but the significant investment still positions Intel favorably within the semiconductor industry.
