      It seems like Italy will get a €10-20 Billion fab, while Germany will get the ~€100B gigafab that Pat has hinted at multiple times.

      Hmm, maybe Italy is just advanced packaging? > The Italian factory would be an "advanced packaging" plant that uses new technologies to weave together full chips out of tiles produced by Intel and other chipmakers, the sources said.

        Italy could also get a research center, presumably for future node development. > One of the sources said Italy also had "cards to play" to obtain a research centre, which is another part of the overall investment Intel is preparing for Europe.
