- AlotOfReading 5mo agoThat's Intel. Probably IBM too, though they've been doing mass manufacturing with TSMC (and GloFo before) for years instead of their fabs. I wouldn't be surprised if HP did similar things back in the 80s.
- Glohrischi 5mo agoWe wont for anytime soon. Intel and TSMC are not what they are today just because they buy a very expensive EUV Machine from ASML but because they have the knowledge and infrastructure to even use these machines.
- sofixa 5mo agoIBM was doing this since the 50s.
