Intel Developing New Chip Designs in India

An anonymous person noted that "Intel Corporation, the $39-billion largest chip maker in the world, is developing new chip designs and processors at its India development centre to roll out the next generation of notebooks and servers, says a top company official."

Processors

So can we look forward to the new Intel Ganges, Hoogly and Yamuna processors?

If that's true then I'm only going to buy AMD.

Strange, it looks like these are the places that would most likely face the risk of regional nuclear war within 20 years. Maybe Intel plan is to save on retirement packages.

I heard about that project. I hear that the processor runs hot, though.

Ah, thank you!

Maybe they're just trying to ensure they'll have lots of melted sand to work with in the future... : p

In other news...

AMD this week declared that it will be building a new development centre in Pakistan. Gotta love healthy competition... ;-)

Priorities

[ZombieSquirrel]

India designing hardware does not bother me. The lack of quality drivers is what I'm worried about.

But the ones who understand math will be OK.

If you lose 7.5% of these jobs a year in ten years, 75% of them are gone.

I assume that the 55% of the jobs that are lost over that ten year period are the ones held by the engineers who don't understand basic math.

Also, the work ethic and education standard in other countries is much higher. I've worked with Indian outsourcing firms, and they make up for their lack of understanding of the problem with 14 hour work days

They also make up for their lack of understanding of your problem when you call a customer support line outsourced to India and it takes 14 hours on the phone to get your issue solved.
