- KK7NIL 9mo agoThe fab in Washington is very old (notice it's still equipped for 8 inch wafers) and so pretty irrelevant to Nvidia's business. I'm not quite sure what process they run there but I believe it was an acquisition 10+ years ago, not built from the ground up by them. Edit: their Japan fab is also a mature node so not very relevant here. And their Arizona fab is a very very small portion of their volume and with far worse margin.
- pinot 9mo agoWA fab is verrry old and makes commodity products, think like small microcontrollers etc. 160-350nm processes.
