Intel (INTC.O) will invest €5 billion ($5.7 billion) to expand its Leixlip
campus near Dublin, increasing capacity for data‑center processors, including
flagship Xeon server CPUs, and boosting R&D. The company said the expansion is
part of plans to raise data‑center processor output and, Executive VP Naga
Chandrasekaran said, to improve delivery for foundry customers as it seeks to
bolster its foundry business. Intel framed the investment as an effort to regain
manufacturing leadership amid the AI boom and to strengthen competition with
TSMC.
