If Amazon supplies a lot of Federal or Military there might be a requirement that certain VMs run on CPUs that are made in the USA or that have very stringent supply chain controls.
- throwup238 2y agoIntel's main fabs are in Arizona. Their cutting edge CPUs are already made in the USA, no need for custom chips.
- ksec 2y ago>Their cutting edge CPUs On Server ( for now ). Cutting edge laptop is no longer on Intel but TSMC.
- alephnerd 2y agoConsumer desktop processor fabrication is commodified in no small part due to TSMC, along with the extremely low margins. There's no reason for Intel to target that money pit when there are higher value options like Server processors. The bleeding edge nodes built in Chandler have much better uses. This is part of the longer term IDM 2.0 strategy who's endgame was always going to be a split or potentially even spinoff of Intel Foundary services from Intel Chip Design services - their goals are just too diametrically opposed and undermining each other.
- shrubble 2y agoYes but where are Amazon’s chips made, currently?
