Tech "intel's f-----"

They're also making the first truly innovative evolution in laptop CPUs to happen since the adoption of the big.LITTLE design that wasn't really an evolution since it had already been pioneered years before its adoption in mobile ARM processors. These improvements are mostly aimed at business users, particularly those whose fields are increasingly demanding of AI tasks, and higher internet bandwidth consumption, not gamers. But, as Ars Technica points out, with the ability to add 2 efficiency cores per power core (instead of 4), the new Intels should bring down the price floor of the cheapest viable gaming laptops since 2p+4e and especially 4p+8e configurations will be possible.
Intel’s biggest laptop CPU update in years is a huge departure from past designs

"
LEIXLIP, Ireland, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Chipmaker Intel (INTC.O) said on Friday it had begun high-volume production using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines at its $18.5 billion plant in Ireland, calling it a "landmark" moment as it seeks to regain ground on its rivals.

Once the world's leading chip manufacturer, Intel has lost the lead to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (2330.TW), but says it is on track to regain it with manufacturing technology it says will rival the best from the Taiwanese group."

The tech wars moves into overdrive. TSMC former CEO Moris who got his technical background where Pat Gelsinger gained perspective on Irish an Jewish engineering pools. Easily one of the most focused an driven talent in hardware engineering. Moris having had this experience knows this race is hardly over. Next round incoming.

"Although Intel's 20A (2nm-class) and 18A (1.8nm-class) fabrication technologies are set to be available earlier than TSMC's comparable manufacturing processes, the world's largest contract maker of chips believes that its N3P (3nm-class) technology will offer comparable characteristics with Intel's 18A, whereas its N2 (2nm-class) will beat it across the board in terms of power, performance, area (PPA) advantages

Oct 30 Apple’s holding possibly its biggest product launch in years. Unlike M2 launch that was really an update more then radical change M3 is not just marginally different. Scary Fast Event is going to bring a brand new road map an path forward.

Could bring back actual AI server technology to corporations with new enhanced AI and cloud offerings. It could put Apple upwards of 6 months to a year ahead. This may explain AMD, Nvidia an Quellcom pivot to new ARM an RISC-V development.

The iMac update is probably the biggest thing to come out of the event given the age of the M1 Mac. ARM has advantages but it's mainly down to Microsoft being willing to support and subsidize the costs of Windows on ARM. Jury is still out with how Qualcomm did with Snapdragon X, my sense is probably not a homerun because Samsung isn't a launch partner and some of the questions the Qualcomm people have been asking in the industry indicate they don't really understand the difference between mobile (phones) and mobile (laptops). Either way, I'm happy personally and professionally to see more competition in the processor space.

Also for whatever reason, Qualcomm's partners really don't like them that much. IE Sony not giving them any credit for the PlayStation Portal

Strange things happening in the TSMC world. AMD quietly signed an agreement with Samsung over their 4nm manufacturing. It seems AMD realized they need to plug their need for backup suppliers.

ASML on Thursday announced that it had begun shipping the industry's first extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tool with a 0.55 numerical aperture (High-NA) to Intel. The initial High-NA machine will be used to learn how it works on Intel's 18A (18 angstroms, 1.8nm-class) fabrication process, which promises to provide the CPU giant a lead over its rivals TSMC and Samsung.

We are shipping the first High NA system and announced this in a social media post today," a spokesperson for ASML said. "It goes to Intel as planned and announced earlier."


As announced in September, ASML this week began to (literally) ship its High-NA EUV lithography tool to Intel. The unit will be shipped from Veldhoven, the Netherlands, to Intel's site near Hillsboro, Oregon, and will be installed there over the next few months. The machine is so big that it takes 13 huge containers and 250 crates to ship it. It is believed that each High-NA EUV scanner costs somewhere around $300 to $400 million.

Update ASML are shipping the first 6 high-NA machines to Intel at over 300 million each. Apparently Intel had test batch runs of 20 angstroms about 2nm at ASML. This really is Intel big bet to get a jump on others.

Its nearly the end of the year, are they fucked yet?

So is the fucked gonna happen or not?

The most complex chip making machine ever made now at Intel in Portland Oregon. One of 6 machines headed to Intel this year. 250 creates to carry it. Across 14 cargo containers on 14 trucks.

So what your trying to say is intels fucked?

Seriously is it fucked yet this thread has been going years an there is no fucking.

Some one is rocking some sweet blue balls.

I thought this was interesting in a few new items. One is OpenAI a Nvidia both want to build chip making factories. Intel seeking 10 billion to work on Ohio plants. Nvidia throwing around the idea of custom ASICS "Application Specific Integrated Circuits" for big AI farms. Nvidia has been throwing around 30 billion to make their plans a reality self funded. Nvidia recognized that to potentially move to the next level customers will be seeking greater customization then their HXXX series will offer an keep OpenAI away.
