Intel to receive $8.5 billion subsidy from CHIPS and Science Act of 2022
Intel will invest over $100 billion to expand domestic chipmaking capacity
The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 has allocated $39 billion in subsidies to boost U.S. competitiveness in semiconductors, with Intel receiving the largest share at approximately $8.5 billion for its facilities in Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio and Oregon.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger announced that the company will invest over $100 billion in the U.S. over five years to expand domestic chipmaking capacity and other capabilities that are critical to economic and national security.
the funding for Intel is expected to create approximately 30,000 jobs nationwide in construction and manufacturing.
Intel will receive about $20 billion in federal subsidies under the CHIPS and Science Act to advance semiconductor manufacturing projects in four U.S. states.
The funding will support Intel's previously announced plans to invest over $100 billion in the U.S. over five years to expand domestic chipmaking capacity and other capabilities that are critical to economic and national security.

The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the CHIPS and Science Act was approved on a bipartisan basis in 2022 without providing any evidence or context for this claim. Additionally, the author makes a false dichotomy when they state that Intel's chips will be 'the most advanced chips in the world', as people measure these, these will be below 2 nanometer chips which are advanced beyond those made by Taiwan and other semiconductor sector leaders. This statement is not supported by any evidence or context provided in the article.

Bias

The article contains several examples of bias. Firstly, the author uses language that dehumanizes China by referring to it as a rogue province and implying that conflict with it is imminent. This is an example of religious bias as many people in the US hold strong anti-communist views which are often linked to religion. Secondly, there are several instances where the author uses language that demonises Taiwan's semiconductor industry by referring to it as centralised and risky due to its close ties with China. This is an example of political bias as many people in the US hold strong anti-communist views which often lead them to view Taiwan positively. Thirdly, there are several instances where the author uses language that demonises China's semiconductor industry by referring to it as a threat and implying that it needs to be diversified. This is an example of ideological bias as many people in the US hold strong anti-communist views which often lead them to view Taiwan positively and see China negatively.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Intel will invest $100 billion across the country but fails to mention where this investment will come from or if it has already been committed. Secondly, the author quotes Pat Gelsinger as saying that Intel's new projects are expected to create 30,000 jobs nationwide in construction and manufacturing but does not provide any evidence of these job figures. Thirdly, the article mentions Shawn Fain endorsing Biden after months of delay over concerns about union labor but fails to mention what those concerns were or if they have been addressed. Finally, the author quotes Ruben Gallego claiming credit for the Intel award without providing any context on how he was involved in securing it.

The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing President Biden's statement that Intel will create 30,000 jobs nationwide in construction and manufacturing. This is not a factual claim and cannot be proven true or false. Additionally, the author quotes Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers (UAW), who accuses Biden of not doing enough to protect their interests as he sought a quick political win by signing an enforceable agreement allowing workers to form a union at Intel. This is also not a factual claim and cannot be proven true or false. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when they describe the UAW's statement as

The article is biased towards President Biden and his efforts to boost the semiconductor industry in Arizona. The author uses quotes from politicians who are aligned with the Democratic party to support their argument that Biden's actions will create jobs and help pave the way for his reelection. However, they also use quotes from Republicans who criticize him for not doing enough to protect their interests, which creates a false sense of balance in the article.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that America can win the chips manufacturing race when it currently makes zero of the world's leading-edge semiconductor chips and wants to make a fifth by 2030. Secondly, President Biden claims that he has awarded $8.5 billion dollars to Intel for semiconductor factories in Arizona, Ohio, New Mexico, and Oregon when it is actually only $17 billion from the CHIPS Act of 2021.
