INTEL IS PLANNING to create its future-generation processing chips at its Irish facility in county Kildare.
CEO Paul Otellini indicated that Ireland would be one of three locations for the development of 14 nanometer (nm) chips while briefing investors at an annual meeting earlier this month. The news was first reported here by RTÉ this morning.
A slide presentation at that meeting in California revealed Intel’s roadmap for taking its production process down to 5nm in the next decade.
By next year, it is hoped that 14nm processors will be in development at plants in Oregon and Arizona in the US and Leixlip in Ireland. They will begin shipping them by 2014.

According to slides obtained by PC Magazine and TheJournal.ie, the company is already building sites for the 14nm production at the three locations.
Such an investment would secure employment for many of the 4,000 workers at the facility and possibly create new construction jobs. However, no specific details are available from the company about their future plans for Leixlip. RTÉ reports that Intel has warned that proposals are always subject to changes.
According to PC World, Otellini said the company hopes to close the gap between the technology used to make mobile chips and that used for PC processors given the current trend towards mobile computing.
Research for lithography, materials and interconnects for chips even smaller than 14nm is already under way:

@Mr Jerry Curtin: The Crying Game . Ahead of its time and what a twist . Superb acting . And it’s made in the 20th century..
dear God Almighty all the knuckle dragging tadpoles mentioning 21st century films !!!!!! Read the ARTICLE yee absolute dense swamp eating gurgling fish heads.
@Liam: it has a great charm. I remember as a child the scene where he is pushed from deaths carriage. S ary for a 10 year old – but an underrated film everyone should see once
@Rory Wilson: brilliant film on all fronts, just wish I seen it on big screen. You could make a film about making it. Robert Mitchum was growing grass plants where he was staying apparently lol
@Rory Wilson: Good acting, great cinematography, but too long. Could have been edited down to under two hours. The storm scene with the landing of arms had to be shot in Spain because the erratic Kerry weather didn’t come up with the real thing.
Shake Hands with the Devil, with a dramatic cameo role by Noel Purcell, was a Tan War film that posed questions about some of the goodies and most of the baddies.
Wow, tough crowd today! I mean, I’m only out by a few years…. In all the comments sections, in all the news apps, in all the world, you walk in to mine… and pick holes
@Conor O’Neill: same. I think its the only Irish film I’ve ever watched. I’ve seen none on the list above, and have no interest in watching any of them either.
@Mirabelle Stonegate: very narrow mind . Some of the above films would stand-up to the best out of USA. To name two, The Field or The Butcher Boy which is a masterpiece in acting by Stephen Ray and Eamonn Owens as the the young boy
@EillieEs: Faith ‘n begorrah woman shur weren’t they all sexist back then begob. Don’t be worryin’ yer pretty little head about it now colleen! It’s an awful movie for many reasons especially the stage Irish stereotypes and not least the way women are portrayed but in fairness it is of it’s time. It always reminds me of dreary, wet St. Patrick’s days growing up in the 60′s watching RTE. We were all stage Irish back then seemingly but at least change was starting to happen…
@Daithí Ó’hÁinle: A genuinely amazing film! It’s a work of art. I worked opposite Dublin Castle at the time and from our vantage point we could see the famous candlelight scene being filmed. Brings back some good memories everytime I see it…
Always liked Ryan’s Daughter. Boggles the mind that The Commitments tops the poll / thought it was execrable in 1991 + haven’t changed my opinion in 30 years since.
@Cian Nolan: i would have once picked The Snapper but with changing times i can’t not see what Georgie Burges did as assault. Other than that great film.
‘Quackser Fortune Has A Cousin In The Bronx’. Gene Wilder as a Dublin horse manure collector is something to marvel over as is Dana as a Traveller in ‘Flight Of The Doves’…
@Mary O’Kane McGowan: Both are a bit like a time capsule in terms of an Ireland that’s now gone. It’s fascinating to watch how Dublin used to be in my youth. There’s one scene in ‘Flight Of The Doves’ where the kids run through Merchant’s Arch and come out the other side in Rathmines/Ranelagh I think. I went through it last week and was still in Temple Bar! Now that’s the magic of the movies…
All good movies in the list. The Commitments was great at the time but it hasn’t aged well. Veronica Guerin was a great movie. Of the ones in the list In The Name of the Father is probably the best for me. Breakfast On Pluto with Cillian Murphy is another great Irish movie.
Barry Lyndon is the greatest Irish film and after that John Huston’s The Dead (is it a coincidence that they were made by two truly great directors?). Of the films on the list, The Crying Game and after that The Field.
20th century: Poitín, with Cyril Cusack. 21st century: Song of the Sea/Amhrann na mara. Also for the 21st century anything by Lenny Abrahamson (Adam and Paul, Garage, What Richard did).
The field by far , the commitments and snapper are embarrassing watched them in U S when they came out 90 percent of cinema got up and walked out as foul language and poor acting plus they are a disgrace .
The Crying Game . Ahead of its time and what a twist . Superb acting . And it’s made in the 20th century..
dear God Almighty all the knuckle dragging tadpoles mentioning 21st century films !!!!!! Read the ARTICLE yee absolute dense swamp eating gurgling fish heads.
Two of my favourites – not featured on the list – would be “Pigs” and “Korea”, both of which were directed by Cathal Black. Also a big shout-out for Barry Lyndon as well. Of those on the poll, it is a tie between “The Field” and “My Left Foot”.
It’s a redo ridiculous poll. Why not just Irish movies up until 2021. It’s shitting the door on most people under the age of 20 ..There is not that big of a list of Irish movies before 2020 the whole consept is flawed and ageist.
