"Disruptions in the global economy have resulted in increased costs, from construction materials to energy," says Intel.
"We appreciate the constructive dialogue with the federal government to address the cost gap that exists with building in other locations and make this project globally competitive."
Intel's original cost estimate for the Magdeburg fab was €17 billion.
