Reporting by @chernandburn that Intel is looking to offload Altera and possibly shelve German fabs...but that Gelsinger won't propose breaking up the company. (At least not yet.)

Amazon secures an estimated $1B in tax breaks for five data centers in Morrow County, Oregon, which local officials hope will generate $12B in Amazon spending

Mike Rogoway / Oregonian :

Amazon's new deal appears far less lucrative for local governments than other Oregon data center incentives. Amazon would pay ~1/4 of its ordinary tax liability. A similar deal with Google in The Dalles two years ago requires that company to pay at least 2x that.

Mike Rogoway / Oregonian :

Despite the immense size of Amazon's new tax deal ($1B+), it has gotten virtually no scrutiny in Morrow County. County commissioners approved the incentives in less than five minutes. The Boardman City Council approved Amazon's deal after just 90 seconds.
