IBM to Invest $2.5Bn in NY Chip Plant
Monday, July 16: An IBM-led group has announced that it has
plans to spend $2.5bn to build an advanced new semiconductor plant and perform
related research projects in upstate New York.
IBM, together with top customers such as Sony of Japan and Infineon of Germany,
have pledged $1.9bn to build the centrepiece of the project — a new
semiconductor plant at IBM’s existing Fishkill, New York facility.
The regional investment consortium was unveiled during Pataki’s annual
state-of-the-state speech, his eleventh as governor, according to a statement
from the governor’s office.
The plan is set to create 750 new jobs, along with another 250 in various
related research projects, to be funded as part of a decade-long drive by the
governor to boost the fortunes of a region which has struggled to regain its
footing since employers such as General Electric closed older manufacturing
plants there in the 1980s.
The 380,000-square-foot plant is scheduled to begin operations in the second
half of ’05 for use in producing chips for key IBM customers such as Sony.
IBM is working with Sony to help develop a new generation of microprocessor chip
called “Cell”, which Sony has slated to use in the upcoming-generation of its
hit video game console, the so-called PlayStation 3.
