This is the fourth generation of Intel CPUs which are used for desktops, laptops and mobile phones, said CT Lau, Director of Intel Products Vietnam’s assembly and test factory.
Intel expects that by the end of this year, 80% of its CPUs for desktop computers worldwide will be produced in Vietnam.
Intel began production in Vietnam in June 2010 with chipsets for laptops and mobile devices. It later began producing Atom SoC (System on a Chip) in late 2013.
The debut of Intel’s first CPU product proves that Vietnam in general and Ho Chi Minh City in particular is an attractive destination for the world’s hi-tech companies, said Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Le Manh Ha.
In 2013, Intel contributed about US$2 billion to the city’s export revenue.
