This is one of the reasons some of the world’s biggest data companies are planning to use the new “ruler” SSD to support their cloud and data center operations. In most data centers today, the single biggest cost is air conditioning to keep them cool. Older disk drives produce a great deal of heat. Memory cells in the D5-P4326 are stacked 64 layers deep. The new SSD is Intel’s densest drive ever, and is built on Intel® 3D NAND technology, which stacks memory cells atop each other in multiple extremely thin layers, instead of just one. That’s equivalent to triple the entire printed collection of the U.S. Intel’s newest solid state drive, the PCIe-based QLC Intel® SSD D5-P4326, is about the size of an old-fashioned 12-inch ruler, and can store 32 terabytes. ^ "Intel Costa Rica began in 1997 with an assembly and test plant, which worked for 17 years with great performance.Fast disappearing from data centers are power-hungry spinning hard disk drives that hum, buzz, run warm (or even hot), require fans and expensive cooling systems, and can crash unexpectedly.^ "Intel Fab, Colorado Springs, CO - Converted Factories on ".^ "Intel will close Massachusetts factory, eliminate 400 jobs in New Mexico".^ "State Enactments of the Single Sales Factor" Tax Incentive Have Had Little Impact on Intel Corp.'s Major Plant Location Decisions".^ "Intel builds in-house data center with PUE of 1.06".^ "ABQJOURNAL BIZ: Intel: Catalyst for Growth".^ "Intel to open Jerusalem plant next week".^ "ABQjournal: Intel to Spend $105 Million Reopening Fab 7".^ "Intel Corporation Type 4 Air Contaminant Discharge Permit Application" (PDF)."Intel will tear down Fab 4 in Aloha, historic but empty since 1996".

Site originally purchased from Rockwell, but due to lack of demand and for financial reasons, Intel put it up for sale in 2007. Made specialty products on the trailing edge of chip technology, and was last to make chips on 200-millimeter silicon wafers. įacility used older technology and closed (along with Fab 11X) because site was not large enough to accommodate a leading-edge fab. Worth, Texas in 1999, but was eventually cancelled in 2003. Previously a development Fab named D1A before construction began on D1B in 1994. Īfter being decommissioned, was converted into a data center. įacility eventually expanded to merge with Fab 11 in 1999. Building was converted into die prep facility to support nearby Fab 28.

Ended production with, what was at the time, the last 6-inch wafer fab. In 2005, $105 million was invested to temporarily turn Fab 7 into a testing facility. By the time production stopped, plant was producing 0.35 micron-6 inch wafers. Production focused on flash memory chips.

Key architecture was the 286 microprocessor. įirst silicon wafer manufacturing facility in Arizona. Previously a development facility, then production facility. Located on North Mines Road.įirst wafer manufacturing plant outside of Silicon Valley and first facility in what is now known as Oregon's Silicon Forest. First plant outside of the Santa Clara area, and is where the famous Bunny Suits were first introduced.

Located in building SC1, at the corner of Bowers Ave.
