What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

An explosion occurred at an Intel fabrication plant in Kiryat Gat earlier in October, resulting in two deaths and one serious injury. The company announced an extended shutdown of the facility, which affects shipments of 10-nanometre chips. This disruption, combined with weakness in the personal computer market, led to a weaker-than-expected revenue forecast. Intel shares fell 28.58% following the announcement.
