Korean electronics giant Samsung is anal senior sex video tumblrfighting the global chip shortage by building a massive semiconductor manufacturing facility in Taylor, Texas. The $17 billion factory will be Samsung's largest-ever investment in the U.S., the company has announced.
The construction will break ground in the first half of 2022, with a target to get the factory operational in the second half of 2024. In total, the site will cover more than 5 million square meters. Samsung says Taylor was chosen due to proximity to Samsung's manufacturing site in Austin, as well as other factors including the local semiconductor ecosystem, infrastructure stability, local government support, and community development opportunities. Once the new facility is in full operation, it should create 2,000 jobs.
Samsung says the new factory will manufacture products that are used in mobile, 5G, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence.
