Yeah, but Intel Israel is on the west bank and therefore not importantant and thirty other made up excuses and irrelevant points so a not to admit in any way I could have been wrong in my original point.

you...

At any rate, Intel Israel was founded in 1974, and has been growing steadily for over 30 years. It was started by Dov Frohman, the inventor of the EPROM. Israel has been on the short list of sites that actually rates a fab...

I'm confused, I'm well aware that there has been a fab in Israel for quite a while, but are you implying that the Israelis aren't doing more design work than ever before. I seem to remember awhile-ago INTC saying that they were expanding the Israeli design center, a lot. I took that as being a reward for the laptop design work they did that eventually led to Yonah etc. I also assumed that there was more than a little Jewish influence in the design of Woodcrest, Merom and Conroe?

All in all it kind of seemed like a slap in the face for the U.S. based design teams.
