I just think it stinks of desperation and suspect once they go down this path it's going to be very difficult to reverse course.

- CountSessine 6y agoStink or otherwise, they are actually very desperate!
- iforgotpassword 6y agoIntel is intel because of x86, not because of their fab. 10nm is what, 4 years behind, does anyone feel confident 7nm will be ready in the next 5 years? Having a superior architecture (which they don't anymore) can only compensate for so much regarding node size. Intel isn't going to pull that one around. Having your fab in-house only makes sense if you're state of the art. At some point, not admitting defeat and just keep increasing TDP is false pride.
- ant6n 6y agoIntel is what it is because of fab. For many years, they were way ahead. 5 years ago AMD also had x86 but was very much behind and almost went bankrupt.
