The Biden-Harris Administration has finalized close to $8 billion in funding for Intel under the CHIPS Act, aimed at enhancing U.S. semiconductor manufacturing capacity and creating numerous jobs across the nation. However, the funding amount was reduced by more than $600 million from the initial award, with the Commerce Department confirming a revised grant of approximately $7.86 billion. Despite the cut, Intel has secured substantial financial support, including an allocation specifically for its Ohio project, which mirrors broader efforts to boost domestic chip production. The ongoing developments reflect a complex landscape as Intel navigates funding adjustments while aiming to expand operations and maintain competitiveness in the global semiconductor market.
