Where are you getting that number for Intel? Everything I see has Samsung, TMSC, then Micron as the top in terms of wafer production. Intel is like 1/3 of TMSC

Where are you getting that number for Intel? Everything I see has Samsung, TMSC, then Micron as the top in terms of wafer production. Intel is like 1/3 of TMSC which is still alot. https://www.eetindia.co.in/over-half-of-global-wafer-capacity-held-by-five-companies/ https://www.eetindia.co.in/over-half-of-global-wafer-capacit...
- wtallis 6y agoRaw wafer counts aren't particularly relevant here, because you can't really re-tool a NAND or DRAM fab into a competitive logic fab. Based on those numbers, about a third of Samsung's wafer count is logic, putting them slightly ahead of Intel (logic and a bit of NAND). TSMC's wafer count (all logic, AFAIK) is higher than Samsung+Intel, but not all of that is on leading-edge nodes. TSMC 28nm and 16nmFF nodes are going to be sticking around for many years to come.
- MrBuddyCasino 6y agoThe numbers are even more tilted in Intel‘s favor if you consider that the foundries do a huge part of their volume business on outdated nodes. Intel doesn‘t do that. They have many times the capacity of TSMC in their market segment.
