BEIJING -- Intel Corp. announced Monday it will build a $2.5 billion 
chip factory in China, giving the U.S. company a bigger presence in 
the booming Chinese market and boosting Beijing's efforts to attract 
high-tech investment.

The factory will supply chipsets to customers in China, which Intel 
expects to be the largest information technology market by the time 
the facility opens in 2010, Intel CEO Paul Otellini said at a news 
conference in the Great Hall of the People. Chipsets are computer 
chips that connect a microprocessor to other system components.
