Nope Intel didn't shut down during X'mas
and the CNY shutdown doesn't apply to all division
*
the shutdown refers to mainly the assembly plants ... departments like pdc and finance did not as their work is not affected by assembly.
and the assembly plants shut down for christmas and are shutting down for cny

They should have use that US7B to at least sustain operation in PG7 and PG6 during this tough time...Not sure whats their plan...slash here and upgrade there.

Look from it from the Return of Invesment point of view, propping up PG6 and PG7 isn't going to solve anything in the long term, those two facilities will have to shut down one day due to cost issues. However, if you spend the money upgrading fabs and move to new technology, you remain the market leader and sell more, earn more, i.e. the company survives.

The latest rumor i have is that they are going to close down Penang site except for R&D.

heh... hasn't it been known that they have been booting non R&D departments off to kulim for a long time already ? Its known among penangites or at least the FIZ'ers that intel aims to convert Intel PG into R&D years ago .. just that some of the non R&D ppl were resisting..
