Chip makers gearing up to meet growing demand

Mark LaPedus and George Leopold write in EE Times:

A flurry of recent reports indicates that U.S. chip makers are preparing for growing demand by expanding their offshore manufacturing operations.

Intel Corp. is reportedly considering expanding its Asian operations to India and Vietnam, while chief rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. is considering a third fab in Dresden, Germany.

The reports come as some chip industry executives are warning of future shortages of memory chips as consumer-driven demand heats up.
