- Intel has a design center in Haifa and a fab near Tel Aviv. The
- design center does both hardware and software work.
-
- To their credit, the fab in Israel did not miss a single commit
- during the Gulf War. Most employees worked right through the
- hostilities.
-
- BTW, the products I was working on at the time were fabbed
- in Israel and we had some intersing phone meetings!
