Intel's 916,000-pound shipment is a "cold box," a self-standing air-processor structure that facilitates the cryogenic technology needed to fabricate semiconductors. The box is 23 feet tall, 20 feet wide, and 280 feet long, nearly the length of a football field. The immense scale of the cold box necessitates a transit process that moves at a "parade pace" of 5-10 miles per hour. Intel is taking over southern Ohio's roads for the next several weeks and months as it builds its new Ohio One Campus, a $28 billion project to create a 1,000-acre campus with two chip factories and room for more. Calling it the new "Silicon Heartland," the project will be the first leading-edge semiconductor fab in the American Midwest, and once operational, will get to work on the "Angstrom era" of Intel processes, 20A and beyond.
I don't know why, but I've never thought of the transport logistics involved in building a semiconductor fabrication plant.
They need to raise gas tax to offset EVs, ergo, higher gas prices!
Not for EV drivers, I guess?
True 1% people.
Oh don't worry, states are already working on mileage taxes for EVs. A few even already have them in place.
