Intel isn't even one of the top 3 semiconductor companies anymore. You've got Nvidia, Apple, AMD, Broadcom all ahead of them. Intel can whine about Moore's law, but AMD not only has many chiplets in one processor, but has different dies stacked on top of each other with TSV. And thanks to ChatGPT, there's demand not only for bigger computing hardware than ever before, but even for new architectures. Semiconductor companies are doing amazing, it's Intel that's the problem.

- doublepg23 3y agoWhen it comes to transistor scaling, as implied by Moore's law, isn't the company driving the advancement TSMC and friends? The ones you listed are all fabless.
- kats 3y agoNo it's not the only thing. The same thing is mentioned in the article: > In fact, he even said Intel could surpass the pace of Moore's Law at least until 2031 and has promoted "Super Moore's Law," a strategy to boost transistor count using 2.5D and 3D chip packaging technologies such as Foveros. Intel also often refers to this strategy as "Moore's Law 2.0," Regardless of transistors getting smaller, companies are outpacing Moore's law by making the CPU physically larger. They design the CPU so that it's composed of multiple chiplets. Since now there can be 7 chiplets that are closely connected, the # of transistors in one CPU is increasing faster than Moore's law. With the announcements about stacking CPU dies on top of each other in 3D, there will be even more chiplets in one CPU in the future.
- tester756 3y agoIt is about doing CPUs *physically* Nvidia, Apple and AMD do not do that (at scale)
- kilolima 3y agoFUD! https://www.pcgamer.com/which-is-bigger-intel-amd-nvidia/ https://www.pcgamer.com/which-is-bigger-intel-amd-nvidia/ Intel is x10 the size of AMD. They are also the only ones to have their own chip production capability. AMD and Nvidia are a Tawain Straits conflict liability.
- anonuser123456 3y agoNvidia, Apple, Broadcom and AMD pretty much go bankrupt if China invades Taiwan. Intel will just lol their way to the bank.
- xvector 3y agoIf China invades Taiwan they won't destroy TSMC. They'll probably just put backdoors in the silicon. Everyone will continue to use TSMC until the backdoors have been found, there will be some controversy, but life will go on just has it has since we discovered backdoors in Intel chips.
- imtringued 3y agoBy the time the invasion even remotely makes sense China would already have some 7nm or smaller fabs ready.
