Well they've nuked consumer Optane (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-kills-off-all-optane-only-ssds-for-consumers-no-replacements-planned https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-kills-off-all-optane...) and sold their NAND business (https://blocksandfiles.com/2020/10/26/intel-sk-hynix-nand-sale-terms/ https://blocksandfiles.com/2020/10/26/intel-sk-hynix-nand-sa...) so that should free up some of their own capacity, right?
- wtallis 6y agoIntel's selling off the NAND fabs and never owned a 3D XPoint fab; Optane products are built with 3D XPoint memory fabbed by Micron, with whom they co-developed 3D XPoint. And it's not cheap or quick to refit a memory fab to produce processors.
- ryneandal 6y agoAh, I didn't look too deeply into the NAND sale. In that case, yeah I totally see why they are choosing to outsource to TSMC.
