Neolithic burial sites and now too much of the wrong soil type, Intel's new foundry in Germany isn't getting finished any time soon
Back in 2022, we reported on Intel's plans to construct a new chip-making facility in Magdeburg, Germany. The project hasn't been entirely smooth running, though, with a plea for larger subsidies rebuffed by the country's finance minister, followed by initial ground inspections turning up a large Neolithic burial site. Now it seems that construction will be delayed again—this time due to the ground having too much of the wrong type of soil.
