I just question whether the government is backing the right horse. Intel has been losing market share in every segment for years despite once having everything in their favor: a head start, a strong brand, mountains of cash. They failed to capture the mobile phone and tablet market altogether. And the govt thinks Intel can make AI chips that compete with Nvidia?
- s1artibartfast 3y agoI don't think the goal is even to compete, even though maybe it's being sold that way. The goal is to have a domestically controlled source of relatively high tech chips. It doesn't matter if they're subpar
- JonChesterfield 3y agoGlobal foundries seems like a better bet than intel for that objective.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoGlobal foundries doesn't have enough money. Intel is investing 75b in the deal. Founries is only worth 25B as a company.
