Intel will invest in nanotechnology processor 7 billion dollars.

Corporation Intel, the largest manufacturer of processors, will in the next two years to invest in the construction of production facilities in the U.S., using the processor, nanotechnology, and seven billion dollars, transmits AFP.
These factories will allow Intel to move to 32-nanometer manufacturing process, making the new chips faster, smaller and reduce their energy consumption. The first processors to appear in 2009 or early 2010, notes ZDNet.
Currently, Intel processors are manufactured on 45-nanometer production methods, and sales in the semiconductor market falls due to reduced demand from end users.
Intel Quarterly Profit in the fourth quarter of 2008 decreased ten times. In January it became known that Intel will close five factories for the production of electronic components. This would reduce the approximately five thousand employees.
