I don't think what TSMC is doing is quite equivalent to Intel's 14++++ execution. Each + for Intel 14nm actually decreased transistor...

I think there is more in this case
+++++++ is Intel Style
But all of those "+" is what is TSMC is doing
N5 > N5++ > N5+++ > N5++++ >...

are the number of plus in 14nm correct? I thought there were only 5 plus

That's the reality nowadays -- basic pitches that set cell size (M0 and CPP) are almost identical for N3/N2/A16/A14, the gate density...

So we don't need Intel, and the US doesn't need semiconductor sovereignty.
All we need is TSMC's US factory.

But it's not just about cost, the amount of extra resource -- meaning, engineers! -- needed to support both BSPD and FSPD processes is...

That would help, but being more expensive isn't really the biggest issue, it's that for lower-power chips with less dense power grids...

You mean add another not-really-big-enough-volume (and late to market!) process to the one they're already got -- plus you need...

Intel has 4x as many process options on 18A as they do customers interested in working with IFS LOL

100% agree. I was asked by a Client how to change a process from BSPD to FSPD and I said, "its a different animal. I dont even think I...

Not sure I agree with the logic here. Intel's biggest need right now is to fill the fabs. Choosing not to even try to serve a large...

You don't need bspdn in the first place, it's garbage
