WHere are they made?

Where are the actual components for computers made? Where does AMD make their CPU's? Where does Intel make theirs? i'm just wondering because i'm bored.

As you can see, AMD Athlon chips are assembled in Malaysia. As far as I know Pentiums are mainly made in the US.

And what kind of labour is used to produce athlon chips?

You might want to check out intel/amd website for that, if it isn't stated, you can contact them.

good question, great answer

Alright, i've emailed them. THe reason i'm trying to find out is theres a guy over another message board I go to who is completely anti-american, and he's in australia, and he seems to think AMD/Intel use slave labour in their "sweatshops", so i'm trying to prove him wrong. Even if they DO have really indecent wages/exploit labor laws, i'm willing to bet all my money that his chip says malaysia too, so in the end, he's just an ignorant hippocrit.
