- chasil 3y agoThe [Intel/GF] foundry may be 24x7, but the research and development operations are 8x5 for most Western semiconductor firms. TSMC has the leading process node due to a combination of luck (see the aluminum -> copper interconnect section of the interview), and very hard work. I doubt that older foundries are 24x7.
- Arnt 3y agoI would guess that even a lot of foundry work is 8×5. Even if a machine runs 24×7, that doesn't have to mean that log files are going to be analysed on the weekend.
