[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

I didn't realise it was so important to the country:

I had noticed that on the IHS,Costa Rica is mentioned quite often on Intel CPUs. I didn't realise how big an operation it was.

Ouch.

Intel's just ruined a few thousands lives, with potential for far far more within that country.

I hope they carry on making CPUs anyway.
Cheap haswells would rule

I'm sure the Chinese who get employed at the new fab are very happy. But bad news sounds more dramatic.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the recently elected left winger in Costa Rica?

Yeah they were the better clockers, its a shame they've gone, means we are all left with the Malaysia chips and there clocking is pick of the bunch, some are good, most ive found are bad.

Ouch, maybe AMD can buy it? Don't know much about that kind of stuff though.

Why did Costa Rica put all their egg's in this one basket ?
