Intel Chivano being hammered (cough) into place

Nosing around the Rio Rancho fab, Chivano Zool narrowly escaped capture by the Intel Thought Police and its Heavily Armed Militia and BlackBunnyMen.

As you can see from some of the photos, construction proceeds apace at the Mother of All Southwestern US Fabs.

At the current rate of construction, the Rio Rancho fab will stretch from Denver to Las Vegas by the time Intel ships the post-Montecito Itanium processor.

The code name of the said CPU by some freaky coincidence happens to be the same as Chivano's first name, curious that.

He points out that Intel develops ballistic tendencies when it hears the code name Chivano, so asks us to ensure that we express prudence and never use that codename, ever in the pages of the INQUIRER.

Because we wouldn't want to make Intel unhappy, would we? µ
