Interesting.

Them...

Perlmutter is vice president and general manager of Intel Corporation's Mobility Group. He was jointly responsible for the design, development and marketing of Intel's solutions for the mobile computing segment including Intel's Centrino Mobile Technology, as well as serving as manager of the Intel Israel Development Center in Haifa.

Also...

Israel is considered one of Intel's central development centers and in early 2006, the company is anticipated to launch the latest series of processor, code-named Jonah, apparently with two Dothan cores in its Pentium mobile family, intended for notebooks. Intel is also working on the next generation of mobile processors, code-named Merom.



Me...

I've been wondering for some time just why INTC hasn't shifted more of its' design and manufacturing to Israel since these are the only guys that seem capable of designing anything but 1 hole outhouses. Without the Israelis saving their collective butts in the laptop area INTC would be in much worse shape than it is now.

On the other hand, no doubt this will raise the visability of INTC to the terrorists, but then Israel has a long history of dealing with those guys. And, as time goes on the world we live in will undoubtedly more closely mirror the world Israel has learned to live in.
