On October 8, pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel, an American chip manufacturer, said that due to the brexit of the UK, the company would no longer consider building a chip factory in the UK < p > Gelsinger said: "before the UK leaves the EU, we will consider building factories in this country. However, after the UK leaves the EU, we are paying attention to other EU countries and hope to get the support of the EU." < / P > < p > Intel hopes to increase production capacity when the global chip supply shortage crisis has hit the supply of cars and other goods. Intel, one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers, said the crisis showed that the United States and Europe were too dependent on Asia for chip manufacturing demand < p > Intel will invest up to $95 billion in the next 10 years to open and upgrade semiconductor plants in Europe and increase its production in the United States. Gelsingh had previously said that the company "would definitely look for a site to consider in the UK", but he said that brexit had changed this < p > he said: "I don't know if we will find a better place in the UK, but we have now received about 70 proposals on site selection in Europe, which may come from 10 different countries. We hope to reach an agreement on site selection by the end of this year and get the support of the EU." < / P > < p > microchips are the key components of millions of products, from cars to washing machines. However, due to the surge in demand and supply chain problems, microchips have always been in short supply this year. This has led to a shortage of popular goods such as cars and computers and pushed up prices. Gelsingh expects the situation to improve "gradually" next year, but it is unlikely to stabilize before 2023 < p > at the time of Intel's expansion, the overall scale of the semiconductor market is expected to more than double in the next seven years to about US $800 billion < p > Intel also wants subsidies from the United States and Europe, where politicians believe that excessive reliance on Asian chips may threaten national security. Today, semiconductor production in the United States accounts for only about 12% of the world, while Samsung and TSMC account for 70% of the global supply. Gelsinger believes that "no one should rely too much on others, which is obviously one of the motives for balancing the global supply chain." < / P > < p > Intel will continue to outsource part of its chip manufacturing business, but ultimately hopes that most of its products will be produced in-house. However, it is not easy to participate in chip manufacturing. Chip manufacturing is still much cheaper in Asia, and Intel's competitors continue to expand. As the world's largest semiconductor OEM enterprise, TSMC promises to spend $100 billion to expand production capacity in the next three years, and Samsung will also invest $205 billion < p > Gelsinger said he believed Intel could still regain its leading edge. "This is an industry we created in the United States. Intel is a company that introduced silicon into Silicon Valley. We know that there are many great companies in this industry. They have sufficient capital and continue to increase investment and innovation, but we must regain unquestionable leadership." (small) < / P > < p >
