Nope, its Ericsson, and Intel fucked them over pretty badly. All of Ericsson's newer chips were designed for 10nm, which doesn't work & Intel is full up on 14nm. Firmware updates to existing hardware and rebrands of existing chips are all Ericsson has to retain customers until they can either get another fab to build their chip (2 to 3 years from now), or Intel sorts out the yield issues on 10nm.

- ksec 8y agoI mean like... For Christ Sake. You take SemiAccruate as reliable sources, and even if the rumour were right. Ericsson was / is never disclosed as an Intel Custom Foundry Partner. The only self disclosed Telcom Equipment manufacturer using Intel 10nm is Nokia, and BTW where is the NOKIA bankrupt and "no way out" Seriously, this is HN, not Reddit.
- StudentStuff 8y agoSemiAccurate tends to be fairly on point, they do have a heavy slant against anyone that isn't on the GNU/Linux software support train. FYI, Ericsson admitted to this silicon problem negatively impacting them recently: https://semiaccurate.com/2018/08/30/update-to-intel-custom-foundry-10nm-customer-meltdown/ https://semiaccurate.com/2018/08/30/update-to-intel-custom-f...
