Mumbai: Intel Corp has set up a new $3 billion production facility in Arizona, its first, to mass-produce microchips with circuits almost a third smaller than before, the company said.

The new facility, called Fab 32, is due to start production tomorrow of a chip design known as Penryn that has circuits just 45 nanometers wide, compared to the 65 nanometers that is used now.

Penryn chips will be used in desktops, laptops and server computers that run networks. The processors are scheduled to hit the market on November 12, Intel said.
