The guy that just left was responsible for Intel getting stuck at 10 and 14nm and nearly tanking the company repeatedly. He’s the Silicon Valley equivalent to GM’s Roger Smith in terms of boneheaded decisions.

I was working at Intel when they were fighting 10nm on 193nm lithography.
Yields were close to zero on way too many wafers

Intel 10nm chips can do more than enough for 90% of computer users. I mean 11th and 12th gen. Yes I do understand the pursuit of lower and lower nm chips by TSMC Intel and others because they run cooler with less current draw. And for AI.
