In a move to expand its efforts in China, Intel Corp. here set plans to build a new chip-assembly plant in Shanghai geared for its Pentium 4 microprocessor lines, according to a report from the Reuters news service.
Intel's new IC-assembly facility in Shanghai would be completed by the end of this year, with production slated for the first half of 2003, according to the report.
The plant is part of a $302 million investment announced by Intel last September. At the time, the microprocessor giant also announced plans to assemble its i845 chip set in Shanghai.
For years, Intel has assembled and tested its flash memory chips in Shanghai. Its current IC-assembly plant is located in Shanghai's free-trade Waigaoqiao zone.
With the announcement, Intel has expanded its chip-assembly efforts for the Pentium 4 processor. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company also assembles Pentium 4 processors in plants located in Malaysia and the Philippines.
At the same time, the company also hopes to maintain its momentum in the China market. Intel, which has been selling processors in China for years, dominates the segment in that nation, according to analysts.
Meanwhile, the company still has no plans to build a fab in China, said Craig Barrett, Intel's CEO, in the report.

William Duffey Jr., the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, said that, as part of his sentence, Burford will plead guilty to charges of child molestation in Gwinnett County, and for that serve 25 years of probation after the federal sentence.
"This case is an outrageous example of the exploitation of one of the most vulnerable members of our community - a child," Duffey said in a prepared statement.
During a March sweep related to Operation Candyman, at least four other men were arrested in the Northern District of Georgia and charged with the use of computers to possess child pornography.
The FBI claims that the Candyman group may have had as many as 7,000 members, with some 4,600 of them in the U.S.
