Lip-Bu is doing great on the outside of Intel but the inside still needs work. I still see hot spots of the old Intel but far fewer than before so it is a work in progress.
Here is a big data point for you, Intel now works with PDF Solutions for 14A yield improvement. As anyone will tell you...
I have not seen any big IFS design wins yet but I am sure Lip-Bu is working on it. I do know that customers are anxiously awaiting the .9 14A PDK which is expected in Q4. If there is not a big change between .5 and .9 IFS could land some big deals, absolutely.
The NOT TSMC market could scale...
Sometimes Samsung sells good die versus wafers which is a great deal. In the last 15+ years I have seen Samsung repeat the same mistakes over and over. It gives me a headache. Samsung wants to be the first, the best, blah blah blah but they never meet customer expectations and yield is the best...
Key Points
- Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said the company’s Foundry turnaround is gaining traction, with improving manufacturing yields helping attract interest from outside customers.
- He said Intel expects commitments from multiple Foundry customers in the second half of the year.

Intel Foundry has reached a notable systems foundry milestone with the demonstration of the world’s thinnest gallium nitride (GaN) chiplet, measuring just 19 micrometers. This research achievement highlights Intel Foundry’s ability to integrate compound semiconductors, advanced...
Wow, according to the media TSMC customers are jumping ship to Intel and Samsung yet I have not been able to confirm any of this inside the semiconductor ecosystem. All design starts that I see are TSMC N2. Also, TSMC is building out N2 capacity very aggressively and TSMC builds fabs based on...
