They will close all sites in France. The French are lazy with there 35hr week 2hr lunch breaks and no working at the weekends. If Intel closed all France sites we could not tell the difference. You come to San Diego for BU you need 4 week off to recover
Haha...you funny guy, I eat you last...
The page you requested has moved or doesn't exist. (Error 404)
No news on GER yet?
so ? how many sites will remain ?
The fact that we do not know yet and that there is almost no communication and no target date yet for Europe does not mean that it is not decided yet (how come we already know which European countries are not impacted by sites closure ???). It just means that the 'already decided' plan can not be executed as fast as expected because of local regulations.
Europe not decided yet
The question is which one of these sites survive, if any?
Intel made 4 acquisitions corresponding now to 4 very small sites in France.
AIx, Montpelier, Grenoble and Nantes.
Aix and Montpellier were already targeted for shutdown before this whole mess started.
It looks like a recurrent pattern: acquiring companies and then firing people.
Historically there is a site in Paris: sales and marketing focused.
And 2 main R&D centers with around 300 people (Intel BB) each: Toulouse and Sophia-Antipolis
How about Romania? How many sites are there? How many will get closed?
Including Paris, i bet on 2 sites...
Any insight on site locations?
Will there be at least 1 remaining site in France ?
Things can change...but many sites will be closed (3 or 4...maybe more)

cnm, care to elaborate? is it just a guess or do you have actual info?
France: Dramatic changes to come...
