They fit 12 billion transistors on their latest die, that's even more than a top-end Xeon. You can bitch all day from your comfortable arm chair, but they're leading the industry in counts and that alone can't be easy. They're not silk screening t-shirts here, they're pushing their process to the limits.
If they were falling behind in transistor counts you might have a case, but they're not.

- astrodust 10y agoI'm arguing they're at the top of their game and they're up against a wall that is not easy to move. It doesn't really matter if it's above or below the trend line. Maybe the trend line is bullshit now because all the things driving it were the easy gains we've exhausted.
