"TSMC (which also affirmed plans to expand its production capacity in the US and Japan)

Yowzers. The US is so obviously weak with feckless leadership that even TSMC is planning for the looming Chicom invasion of Taiwan.

TSMC makes roughly 70% of the (critical) chips that are used in automotive applications. Imagine what life will be like when China controls all that production. The supply chain across all tech dependent industries is gonna be lit AF.

Bizarre situation if Intel ens up doing the manufacturing for AMD.

I’ve been an Intel shareholder for nearly a quarter of a century, and though I’ve made money on the stock, it seems to me that it hasn’t been a particularly well-run company since at least when Andy Grove left as chairman in 2004. I don’t have the numbers handy, but I’d imagine that they’ve underperformed the broader market. They bombed out with modem chips for Apple. They’ve lost quite a bit of market share on CPUs not only to AMD but also to Qualcomm and now Apple silicon. My gut feeling is that, based on their recent track record, if INTC management thinks it’s a perfect time to go big into the foundry business, they’re probably buying at the peak.

They should have listened to President Trump. The multinational corporation’s afflicting America are evil. We need to anti-trust action to bust them up. we also need to re-in state the federal law that outlawed foreign ownership of American media.

Thirty billion dollars is a lot of money to pay for a chip fabricator.

There’s probably only a few companies that make leading edge chip fabricating machines.

Hello, this is the President of Intel, we’d like to expand our semiconductor production capability....

AMD buys xilinx for $35 billion last fall. It was finally approved by the US and the EU this year. They will merge later this year. AMD has better chips the Intel.

I really hope Intel can come back, and win vs. TSMC.

AMD split with GF and went with TSMC, which is ten times the size of GF.

Intel’s first 10nm desktop CPUs are still a year away…oh and 7nm is delayed (again)

10nm? 7nm? Who cares? Intel may be trying to ditch chip technology definitions
What won’t change is how well chips perform in games and other applications, and how much power they consume.
