Intel Begins Installing Equipment at Arizona Fab 62, Targets 2028 Operations

Intel has begun installing manufacturing equipment at Fab 62, a semiconductor facility at its Ocotillo campus near Phoenix, Arizona, according to Bloomberg, as reported by Wccftech.

Fab 62 is expected to become Intel's sixth high-volume manufacturing fab at the site. The company expects the facility to begin operations by the end of 2028. Its neighboring Fab 52 is already operational.

The update is part of Intel's US manufacturing expansion, which also includes facilities in Ohio. Wccftech's headline describes a major construction milestone at the Ohio project, but the supplied summary does not provide details about that milestone.

The developments come as demand for data center processors driven by AI workloads surges, according to the source. The report frames the construction progress as momentum for Intel's expansion, while the available details do not specify the scale or timing of the Ohio project.
