They could call it Cortex-Vapour. I mean very much every popular MCU is out of stock anywhere. Throwing new cores into broken market will only exacerbate problems - the production lines will be clogged by new cores while businesses still wait for the older cores.
- picture 4y agoHere lies an unique property of semiconductor fabrication: unlike other resources like grains where you can just feed in different raw materials to a factory and get your desired output, it is very difficult to reconfigure a fab workflow to use even a slightly different process, and downright impossible to switch between generations (5 nm to 22 nm) without near complete replacement of every equipment. You won't be able to directly increase production of what's actually really hard to get at the moment (microcontrollers and small functional devices using "ancient" process nodes) by decreasing production of cutting edge processes
