Intel is still holds the market on laptops and desktops at about 3/4. They simply push more volume. TSMC makes desktop chips for Apple, but Apple isn’t the majority. The rest of TSMC’s production is almost exclusively GPUs and phones, and this could change. If Intel executes well on their next nodes, and should TSMC slip at all, Intel could pull ahead. Never count Intel out. People thought Intel would die after the z80 ate their lunch, after the Athlon 64 ate their lunch, and now they say it again… I think it’s all just noise.
- justahuman74 4y agoThe market isn't laptops/desktops and phones, everything has ICs in it these days. Laptops/desktops and phones are just the high-margin items. The blast-radius for non-intel chip fabricators is much wider and impactful for the economy
- BirAdam 4y agoSure, but most of the rest isn’t leading edge and more manufacturers are in that space, including TSMC and Intel.
