pseudo0 7 months ago | parent | context | favorite | on: Intel pauses work on $25B Israel fab

Consider the indirect risks as well:

- A significant fraction of your workforce are reservists who might disappear for months with little notice.

- Potential trade disruption due to Israel's highly controversial actions in Gaza (eg. Turkey halting all trade with Israel).

- Shipping disruption and increased cost due to Houthi attacks.

- Potential sanctions or BDS campaigns, like South Africa.

- Difficult to convince international employees to relocate to a conflict zone.

Intel Israel has never missed a wafer, despite all of the above

What does “missed a wafer” mean?

Chips come on wafers. Wafers come in lots. To miss a wafer is to deliver a wafer later than promised, delaying the lot. Intel Israel has never delivered a wafer late.
