Intel Corporation took more than three months to prepare an annual report for the 2016 financial year. In principle, this is a normal practice - April for many workers of the accounting sphere is a month of hard work precisely because of the preparation of the annual report.
In this not very interesting document, for the most part of its contents, it is possible to find references to the geography of Intel enterprises, which does not change much from year to year. As if wanting to please the new US administration, Intel in its annual report laconically reports that in 2016 most of the semiconductor products of the brand were made in the territory of this country. However, Intel has enterprises outside the United States: factories in Ireland, Israel and China which
make not only processors and chipset, but also solid-state memory (in the latter case, it's a new production in Dalian, China).
Testing and packaging of Intel products are carried out by enterprises in Malaysia, China and Vietnam. In 2016, all Intel processors were manufactured using silicon wafers with a size of 300 mm, mainly using 22-nm and 14-nm process technology.
It is interesting to note that on the world map according to Intel, the territory of the Russian Federation is labeled as a country in which "more than 50 employees" of the corporation work. Intel does not provide an accurate breakdown of personnel by country, but explains that more than half of the total number of staff (106 thousand people) work in the US.
At the same time, China has long been the main source of revenue for Intel, followed by the United States, and Singapore by the third. Most likely, a tiny state is simply used to conduct transactions for the purpose of tax optimization. The cost of fixed assets located outside the United States is also not so great - only a third of the aggregate amount, with Ireland and Israel being the leaders due to the presence of Intel production capacities in these countries.
