Should we even continue to finish building the Ohio fab?

Build chicken farm is way better than Intel chip sh it. People are still demanding from eggs daily. Nobody wants Intel unstable chips anymore.
@ak+1jycv0asv - I find it humorous that people think INTC actually GOT any of the billions from the CHIPS Act... they got next to nothin' from that pool of funds, because, for once, the government had restrictions in place that prevented INTC from getting their grubby hands on that pile of cash. Yeah, they may have gotten a couple hundred MILLION, but definitely not the BILLIONS that were originally slated.
Intel will have an Ohio fab a lot longer than any of the fabs which do not already have EUV, because those fabs are about to be sold off.
Much like F42, the shell will be completed, then the fab will be fitted when there is customer demand.
There is literally nothing interesting about this.
And, as you probably know, it's not the first time Intel abandoned a project.

$95M!
Modify the plumbing, provide a hay loft, and convert to a dairy parlor. Thats what people do in Ohio
Wouldn't Intel have to pay back the US government the billions they were given to build the Ohio fab, if Intel doesn't finish it?
Yeah I've been wondering about OH. What could they do with it who would buy it. I guess not enough is done they couldn't pass it to TSMC
Nope
NO!! Bottom line Ohio su-ks!!
