    Intel’s Gelsinger Predicts Intel Inside Everything. ~ July 3, 2008

    1.) Moore’s Law continues, unsurprisingly. hahaha Intel is “on the way to 22[-nm],” Gelsinger said. “We have a good view of what 14[-nm] and [15-nm] will look like, and a good idea of how we’ll break through 10[-nm]. Beyond that, we’re not sure.”  hahahahahahaha (ok, to be fair this was...

    Taiwan Chip Industry Emerges as Battlefront in USA - China Showdown

    China is definitely in a different place in the world order; the renewed focus on Taiwan in my opinion is a way for China to once again assert its place on the global stage (similar to what it's doing in the South China Sea), and challenge America's military and political dominance in...

    Taiwan Chip Industry Emerges as Battlefront in USA - China Showdown

    I grew up in Taiwan in the 90's; our schools had air raid drills weekly and I experienced the missile crisis in '96 that's very similar to what's going on right now (back then it was due to Taiwan holding it's own very first presidential election, which signified political independence and China...

    Has Intel Stumbled Again?

    sad thing is, I trust this "rumor" more than Intel's public statements. Intel just doesn't have much credibility when it comes to things they say. they claim their next gen nodes are "ahead of schedule" all while booking up all of TSMC's 3nm leftover capacity. sounds legit to me!

    Intel planning to build massive new semiconductor factory in Ohio

    yes that was sarcasm :P but I also think realistically Intel may already know it can't feasibly catch up to TSMC given EUV constraints. and look at how much noise Intel is making about it's first high-NA EUV (while booking up TSMC 3nm) while TSMC doesn't even talk about it (because it doesn't...

    Intel planning to build massive new semiconductor factory in Ohio

    prediction: TSMC ends up with most of the EUV deliveries for actual production and Intel gets a single unit for publicity. Pat proudly proclaims to investors Intel delivered on its promise and that AMD is in the "rearview mirror" while increasing outsource to TSMC.

    AMD getting comfortable with Samsung 4nm?

    never mind that Alder Lake wasn't even his doing lol. but hey, Pat sure fits right into Intel's culture.

    TSM and China, TSM the Ultimate Win/Win construct

    no offense to the op but you make a lot of threads that are either political or financial in nature. it's getting a bit exhausting. but as far as this thread is concerned, mozartct summed things up pretty succinctly. democracy is ultimately just another experiment in governing and as much as...

    Intel looking to develop closer relationship with TSMC?!?!?!

    I agree with this. I was actually enthusiastic when Pat took over because he actually as an engineering background, but his public speeches just keeps getting more and more cringe. https://amp.hothardware.com/news/intel-ceo-i-havent-lost-share-amd like does anyone actually believe this crap...

    Intel looking to develop closer relationship with TSMC?!?!?!

    Taiwan's past relationship with China was a lot worse - as someone who grew up during the Chiang Ching-kuo years, I remember a bit of that, though my parents remember a lot more during the Chiang Kai-shek years. I think both the current governing DPP party and Western media both have their own...

    Kissinger doesn’t see China invasion of Taiwan in next decade

    As someone who grew up in Taiwan in the 90's, threat of Chinese invasion is very overblown in Western media (and honestly I suspect a lot of it is click bait, riding on the sudden spotlight on Taiwan due to the chip shortage). China-Taiwan relations isn't great right now because of the DPP...

    Google to design own chips

    Fire Tablets..? Try Graviton2, already used in AWS. Amazon doesn't use Graviton2 to "serve web pages". It can run any of the standard AWS services (including compute). It's meant to be AWS's own ARM server chips and there's nothing slow about them...

    What would happen to TSMC if China gains control of Taiwan?

    this possibility has always been overblown by Westerners. most probable outcome is it won't happen and both sides continue the status quo indefinitely. if you like your doomsday scenario though, China would almost certainly take out Taiwan's power grid during an invasion and global chip supply...
