Intel has selected Ho Chi Minh City and the nation as the place to invest into. Indeed, the story of the novel coronavirus pandemic serves as a typical example, with the swift actions taken by the country along with strong countermeasures aimed at containing the spread of the disease seen as a success in the eyes of the world.

In 2006, Intel announced a USD 300 million investment project to build new facilities, including a chip assembly and testing plant in the Saigon Hi-Tech Park. In November 2006, Intel Products Vietnam officially announced to increase the factory size from 14,000 m2 to 46,000 m2, and increase the total investment to $ 1 billion. The factory officially started operations in June 2010.

Intel's operation during the second half of the year remain stable, with production volume witnessing a surge of 30%, contributing to approximately 75% of total production volume. Indeed, this figure could not be achieved without the support of Vietnam.

Intel has produced 2 billion products in March of this year. This means that every second, it is able to produce 25 units of items, including semiconductor chips, computer processing chips, and other devices.
