AN ITALIAN SITE is reporting that ST Microelectronics and Intel will together work to tool up a 12-inch somewhat empty fab in Catania with a startup for M6 slated for the middle of 2008.

The site, here, suggests that a date for an announcement is expected between the 24th and the 26th of April, and a manager for the fab has already been decided.

There's speculation that the JV will be 47% owned by ST Micro, 43 per cent by Intel and 10 per cent by other investors.

You'd think that Intel would have enough fab capacity. But enough is never enough for the Mighty Chipzilla.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
