Presumably Apple or AMD. I disagree. Intel seems to be as good as either one at chip design, but they are hamstrung by behind behind in manufacturing. They haven't really struggled with performance, its performance per watt and cost th

Sure, but if they raise prices, then US manufacturing becomes more competitive again. Even if the US lost capacity to build, EVs arent such advanced technology that manufacturing couldn't return if the conditions were right.

They are deeply unprofitable and always have been. Looking at FY24, they spent $4 for every $1 in revenue.

What goes unsaid in the article is that this will likely only work with Intel's Arrow Lake? Arrow Lake isnt being launched until next month though, so official specs are not available yet. And the full 9600 speed will very likely requi

> 7x, not 10x 5624/677 = 8.3x Yes, I rounded up, and yes I picked a low to make a point. But go ahead and pick a random point 10-15 years ago if you'd like and compare it to today and the returns are still very large.

Its a good example of what LLMs arent capable of. If they think the word Mississippi has the letter A in it (per article), thats a strong indication that the transformer architecture may never be able to achieve AGI. Here's another e

AWS' moat, if they have one, is not in renting out generic compute. That's been done since before anyone ever heard the term "cloud". I think the point was that the things LLMs are useful for can increasingly be done wit

An additional difference is that humans know what they dont know. LLMs will happily and confidently make up nonsense. I'm not entirely cynical on the value of LLMs, but I've yet to see one say "I dont know", or "I&#

After the layoffs, Intel will have ~100k employees. Also, unless you know some non-public information, its not clear they are laying off anyone doing R&D. The only specific groups mentioned in the layoff memo are sales & marketing.

20A was an internal only node, so the only potential "customer demand" was from Intel itself. If they are confident enough to release their 20A products on 18A instead, there is no real reason to keep 20A in development.
