    Intel Nova Lake-S uses TSMC N2 process Tape-Out

    How can A16 be superior to A14? Isn't A16 have BSPDN?

    China’s Xiaomi to launch self-developed mobile chip in late May

    I missed something. If TSMC can't fab ≤7nm chips for any mainland Chinese clients, how is Xiaomi getting their XringO1 chip fabbed in a 3nm node?

    Intel Foundry Gathers Customers and Partners, Outlines Priorities (Intel Connect Live)

    Thank Apple too for their uncreative AP names (A17, A18, A19....).

    TSMC Discloses N2 Defect Density Lower Than N3 At The Same Stage Of Development

    Reducing production complexity probably had a role in rolling this out faster. They made the right choice by postponing BSPDN to A16 (or whatever is called now).

    Why Intel Never Caught Up to TSMC—Answer Hidden in the Grand Scribe’s Records and Morris Chang’s Autobiography

    Very enlightening article. Thanks. This shows if Intel is to survive it needs to reinvent itself.

    Exclusive: TSMC pitched Intel foundry JV to Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom, sources say

    I recall decades ago when Microsoft invested a billion dollars in Apple during a critical phase in its history. TSMC wouldn't do anything like that for Intel regardless if they even had an equivalent to Steve Jobs.

    ISSCC N2 and 18A has same SRAM Density.

    That's basically like a half-node increase in clock speed for the same voltage! Will be interesting to see how much TSMC's A16 node closes the gap compared to Intel's 18A node.

    TSMC Considers Running Intel’s US Factories After Trump Team Request

    Even if this is true, it isn't like Intel is going to stop their 18A node given that their newer processors they're producing later in the year are using it (i.e., Panther Lake...).

    Intel Foundry Fails To Impress Once Again, 18A Process “Yield Rates’ Are Reported To Be Only 10% Making Mass-Production Impossible FROM wccftech

    Does Chosun have a track record for reported accurate information?

    Intel 18A "too good" but design lags

    I thought that A16 = (N2 + BSPD). So I'm confused too.

    TSMC's says 1.6nm node to be production ready in late 2026 — roadmap remains on track

    I think it'll be N3P for the iPhone 17 in Fall 2025.

    iPhone 18 series: Rumor claims 2026-bound A20 Pro chipset could be built by Intel

    This is sounds completely false. 20A was already abandoned by Intel to focus on 18A. The person who began the rumor mixed up A20 on 20A.

    Samsung's Second-Gen 3 nm GAA Process Shows 20% Yields, Missing Production Goals

    Sounds like they nearly can start producing SF3E-3GAE chips with nearly 60% viability rate output. But, the industry has since moved onto to TSMC's various N3 nodes which are actually in producing chips that shipping.

    Former Intel CEO Craig Barrett: Splitting up America’s leading chipmaker is a bad idea

    So everyone buying TSMC silicon would be paying an extra tax to subsidize Intel until they got back up on their feet? I personally would be willing to pay an extra 20 to 30 bucks for my next iPhone towards this cause. I doubt the rest of the population, would.

    What is really going on with Intel’s 18a process?

    Aren't the base dies on Intel 3? If you do the math, 288 cores over 12 dies, work out to be 24 cores per die.

    Samsung under pressure after Intel's foundry spin-off: analysts

    They've always tried to be first with EUV, first with GAA, and so on. It must be discouraging for their engineers not to fully succeed in every instance.

    Intel splits Foundry from Design

    I was just thinking of how Chinese companies are cannibalizing each other on photovoltaics and overspent on skyscrapers (the real estate bubble; there are entire cities that are empty). While it's not an apple to apple comparison, I wonder how much of this is applicable once the PRC fabs...

    Intel splits Foundry from Design

    If the US government can slap import tariffs on PRC EVs and solar, they could easily do the same on chips fabbed in the PRC to keep them from dumping.

    China Blames US for New Blow to Strategic High-Tech Industry

    Perhaps, autonomous drones and robots for warfare would require large area and low power SoCs (high density libraries/nodes) that only leading edge nodes could provide. Idk, if they could prevent Intel from spinning off IFS like they didn't allow the Tower Semiconductor merger. The PRC are...
