Captain America: Can Elon Musk Save America’s Chip Manufacturing Industry?
Intel has posted three consecutive years of falling revenue and an $18.76 billion loss in 2024 alone—and the U.S. government has handed it tens of billions of dollars to fix the problem. The government money isn’t fixing the real issue, which isn’t technical. It’s cultural. Intel got slow, political, and risk-averse—the… Read More
Tesla and Samsung Relationship Update
The majority of my 40+ year career has been spent managing the relationship between leading-edge semiconductor design and manufacture, working with just about every commercial foundry and top customer in one way or another. It’s my thing—it fascinates me. I’m also a fan of disruption, and the latest disruptions the semiconductor… Read More
Intel Foundry: How They Got Here and Scenarios for Improvement
How do you get a shortage while not growing???
Intel Announced earnings in January. Then David Zinsner presented updates on business this week. David is open when talking and always shares 2-3 things he probably should not share. Often he shares things some of us know, but we cannot present because it is not public. Then he makes it… Read More
