Yeah...how many customers will use the most advanced tech for "less critical chips". The real question is not whether Intel's tech works...it's if they can mass produce it efficiently. 7nm worked just fine on a chip by chip basis...but they struggled for years on getting the yield and output to place where customers would want it.
- deeth_starr_v 2y agoAgreed. Intel has pulled some amazing rabbits out of their hat over the years when they fell behind. I want to believe. If they pull it off this will be an amazing reinvention. But we have to be honest the smart money is probably on Intel being fabless when 18A and 14A drags on and they need to rely on TSMC
