This factory won't be purchasing last gen stuff, more like 10 year old gen machines (I heard 25ish nm machines).

- kenhwang 5y agoOther sources[1] say its 65nm, and the chips won't even be used for automotive purposes. [1]: https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/business/bosch-opens-fab-2021-06/ https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/business/bosch-opens-...
- sorenjan 5y agoHere's a source from Bosch themselves saying "up to 65 nm", which I assume means 65 nm as the smallest feature. They're making "Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and power semiconductors" mainly for the automotive industry, so they're probably counting on that being enough. And what a great time to start production. https://www.bosch-presse.de/pressportal/de/en/300-mm-wafer-fab-in-dresden-229248.html https://www.bosch-presse.de/pressportal/de/en/300-mm-wafer-f...
- nfin 5y agothe text says otherwise regarding automotive: "with output of automotive chips to follow from September" (so, you're correct for now until september, but sep. is soon already I would say)
- lallysingh 5y agoThey'll probably making chips for Bosch parts. IIUC they don't do much advanced computational stuff.
