Today, Intel announced that it will invest $1 billion to $1.5 billion in its Rio Rancho site to retool Fab 11X for production on Intel's next generation 45 nanometer (nm) manufacturing process. Once the transition will be completed, Fab 11X will be the company's fourth factory scheduled to use the 45nm process.
Intel’s current production of 45nm products is done at the Oregon development Fab D1D but the company is currently building two other factories, the Fab 32 in Chandler, Arizona and the Fab 28 in Kiryat Gat, Israel. Investments are respectively of $3 and $3.5 billion and they will begin production end of 2007 and during the first quarter 2008.
Intel will release Core 2 processors using 45 nm process in the end of the year, but mass availability will be logically in the beginning of 2008.
