As a simple consumer, I perhaps don't know about their upstream suppliers (granted the HN crowd will absolutely know...).
- Retric 5y agoIf you own a cellphone or console your likely buying from TSMC. If you’re buying AMD then you are buying TSMC. Intel is unusual in that they still manufacture their high end chips in house, cutting edge fabs are simply mind boggling expensive. So basically everyone else outsources and if your outsourcing high end chips you might as well buy from the bets if you can.
