Intel to delay the introduction of the P1272 14-nm process at Fab 24 in Leixlip, near Dublin Ireland. 

Irish workers had been training on 14-nm tools in preparation for bringing that process online at Leixlip. Intel confirmed earlier this year that Fab 24 would be the overseas fab to join D1X in Oregon and Fab 42 in Arizona as sites that would run the 14-nm process. Intel is thought to be spending more than $1 billion to refurbish Fab 24.

The ramp of 14-nm production in Ireland has been pushed out six months to late 2013, attributing the delay to a slowdown in demand rather than technical problems.

The reported delay is driving concerns that Intel may be reconsidering the ramp of the 14-nm process in Ireland.
