The consensus on HN (search for Intel 7nm, cobalt, ...). It's all speculation at this point. I doubt that Intel would publish details on their processes and its defects so soon.
Intel buying some TSMC capacity does not mean it is going fabless. Nor does it mean Intel is abandoning being vertically integrated.
I like your Boeing remark. It's better to fail at doing something aggressive than to fail to innovate.
- munificent 6y ago> It's better to fail at doing something aggressive than to fail to innovate. I don't think that's a particularly useful way to divide up failures. I think it's better to fail in a way that doesn't kill people than a way that does. Whether you kill people by being too conservative or too aggressive with your design is pretty irrelevant compared to that.
- Symmetry 6y agoAccording to Semiaccurate the new Contact Over Active Gate (COAG) feature ended up causing just as many problems as moving to cobalt. The original article is here: https://www.semiaccurate.com/2018/08/02/intel-guts-10nm-to-get-it-out-the-door/ https://www.semiaccurate.com/2018/08/02/intel-guts-10nm-to-g... It's paywalled but Charlie later published something else referring to that article as talking about COAG problems so I don't feel bad sharing the info at this point. https://semiaccurate.com/2020/08/13/intel-talks-about-10nm-superfin-and-packaging/ https://semiaccurate.com/2020/08/13/intel-talks-about-10nm-s...
