Najveći kamen spoticanja je činjenica da Intel istovremeno ovisi o TSMC-u dok očekuje da nVidia, AMD, ARM i drugi pokucaju direktoru Patu na vrata.

Intel CEO confirms TSMC’s process nodes to power next-gen CPUs: N3 for Arrow Lake & N3B for Lunar Lake. In a press and analyst session following the IFS Direct 2024 event, Intel's CEO Pat Gelsinger confirmed that Chipzilla is leveraging TSMC's advanced process node technology to power its upcoming CPUs codenamed Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake. During the session, Pat stated that Intel has been collaborating with TSMC for its CPU designs and that next-gen CPUs such as Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake will advance this from 5nm to 3nm nodes.

US govt's CHIPS Act gives Intel $8.5 billion in funding and a 25% tax credit on $100 billion in investments

The U.S. Commerce Department announced today that it has come to a preliminary agreement with Intel to provide the chipmaker with $8.5 billion in direct funding for commercial semiconductor manufacturing in the United States, along with $11 billion in loans with a low interest rate and a 25% investment tax credit on up to $100 billion of Intel’s capital investments. The funding comes as the byproduct of the CHIPS Act, which seeks to provide direct funding to revitalize domestic chip production.

The funding will help offset costs for Intel’s chipmaking facilities in Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, and Oregon. Aside from the direct $8.5 billion in funding, Intel will also be eligible for $11 billion in loans from the Commerce Department. Intel says these are long-term loans at very low interest rates but didn’t elaborate on the specific terms. The loans will help Intel secure funding for the large capital investments required to build leading-edge fabs while also potentially reducing the need for further funding partnerships like the deal it signed with Brookfield earlier this year, which involved granting Brookfield a 49% ownership stake in Intel’s Arizona fab in exchange for $15 billion in funding.

The CHIPS funds will go to new fabs and advanced packaging facilities located across four states. Intel will build two leading-edge fabs in Chandler, Arizona, to build chips on its Intel 18A node. Two fabs will be converted into packaging facilities in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Intel's New Albany, Ohio, campus will see two planned leading-edge fabs, and Intel's Hillsboro, Oregon campus will see "expansion and modernization," including high N.A. extreme ultraviolet lithography from ASML that Intel recently started installing. Intel expects 25 to 30% of its investments to go to building the manufacturing facilities, with the remaining ~70% spent on the tools it will install in the fabs.

Intel pushes launch date of Ohio fab from 2025 to 2027 or 2028 – state politicians remain enthusiastic about progress

Another day, another UE5 game exposing unstable Intel i9-13900K/14900K CPUs at stock/auto mobo BIOS settings. Intel needs to do something about this ASAP as this game (Outpost: Infinity Siege) unfairly got a lot of negative reviews because of it.

Bome gadno, e sad jel je to do Intela ili mobo vendora...

[Disco]

A do oboje vj, silovanje auto OCom do krajnjih granica i očito preko granica pa APP.
Očito se u današnje vrijeme mora obavezno UV ili UC radit na tim procovima da rade kako treba.

Intel 20A/18A delayed to 16th Gen CPUs: Arrow & Lunar Lake on TSMC 3nm?

Following the launch of the Core Ultra “Meteor Lake” processors based on the Intel 4 node, the pace of IDM 2.0 has slowed down. Contrary to earlier claims, Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake are both TSMC 3nm (N3B) designs, including the compute tile. Multiple sources (1 - 2) have confirmed that the 15th Gen Arrow Lake family will comprise a CPU tile fabbed on TSMC’s 3nm (N3B) process, with only a few lower-end desktop (Arrow Lake-S) parts leveraging the Intel 20A node. Neither the Arrow Lake-P notebook nor the Arrow Lake-S flagship processors will feature the 20A node, instead relying on TSMC’s N3B process for their CPU tile supply. Lunar Lake won’t be any different. These mobile-only chips will also feature a compute tile fabbed on the TSMC “N3B” 3nm node and an iGPU tile fabbed on N4/N3.

Huh, ova Intelova situacija jako podsjeća na AMD + GlobalFoundries otprije više od petnaest godina uz tu razliku da se šrot firmu ostavilo na miru da (potencijalno) propadnu.

• Intel foundry unit loses $7 billion in 2023, company outsources 30% of its production to TSMC
  
• Intel outlines new financial reporting structure
  
  
• Intel Foundry operating model shown with path to process leadership
  

Sva sreća, pa Intel nema tih i(li) takvih problema.

Usrali su bome sve što su mogli.
BTW, gledao neki dan rivju tj usporedbu MSI Claw sa ROG Ally iliti AMD vs Intel.
Ma ne može mu Intel ni prismrdit u igrama (pogotovo ako su na istom TDPu), ne kužim što bi MSIu da prvi handheld naprave sa nečim tako lošim. Tj preciznije sumnja se u to da se grafa ne može razmahati jer joj CPU krcat nepotrebnim jezgrama grabi TDP. Postoje 2 Claw modela i slabiji je jači. Ugl, trebali bi kompletno onemogućiti ove štedne jezgre i pustit samo normalne, plus vj napravit neki vrag da se preferira takta grafe kada se to traži...ali vjerujem da je to već nukelarna fizika. PS5 i XSX navodno tako funkcioniraju, ali na dev razini, dakle dev odlučuje hoće li dignut takt na CPU ili GPU.

[The Exiled]

E, za MSI Claw je situacija da je Intel bil očajan po pitanju Meteor Lake čipovlja, da su im ih zapravo prodali za neku siću, samo da ih MSI ukomponira i da onda kroz PR mogu reći da imaju konzolu. Nažalost, vidjeli smo već po prvim Meteor Lake laptop recenzijama da bude to teško napravilo neku pravu konkurenciju, tak da su ove konzole najebale ni krive ni dužne.

[De5tr0yer]

Čekajte, sad će Intel na zelenu granu!

Ima zagovornika koji kažu da je bila dobra odluka imat Intel Foundry jer će kao posljedica taiwanskog potresa doći do nove krize čipova od tamo.

Intel Foundry to the world rescue!

Da li se konačno saznalo gdje su zeznuli da su ostali onako dugo na 14nm?

Tamo negdje prije 5god je čak bila blaga nestašica nekih Intel CPU-ova zbog toga. Navodno su nešto gadno pogriješili kod pokušaja prelaska na 10nm i zeznuli si proizvodnju.

[The Exiled]

Da, krenulo je već sa 22nm, ali su bili toliko ispred svih da se nije skužilo. 14nm je već bila malo veća prepreka, ali se i dalje nije naziralo zbog još uvijek velike prednosti i nedostatka konkurencije, dok ih 10nm totalno dotuklo. AMD je u međuvremeno vraćen iz mrtvih, TSMC je prešišal Intel u svemu, do te mjere da su sad i njima proizvođač, dok se Intel izgubil u stajanju na mjestu s desetljećem prednosti pred svima u industriji.

[Odinarius]

Intelu je vjerojatno jeftinije plaćati tu premiju TSMC-u nego imati 7 milijardi gubitka godišnje... Problem je što zbog političkih razloga (sve subvencije koje su primili) ih ne mogu spin-offati kao AMD svojedobno.

Between a rock and a hard place

[The Exiled]

I to kaj veliš, ali kad-tad budu se morali odlučiti, jer ovak unedogled ne mogu, pošto već sad imaju gubitke na sve strane, neovisno o tome da ih država fila sa silnim milijardama kroz poticaje i subvencije. Intel iz kvartala u kvartal sve više toga prebacuje na TSMC, dok istovremeno sami sebe kroz vlastite proizvodne kapacitete prezentiraju kao bolju opciju, nude nešto kaj konkurencija nema, ovo-ono, PR, marketing, svašta nešto. Nadolazeći, a zapravo odgođeni i zakašnjeli Intel 18A proizvodni proces će biti u rangu TSMC-ovih 5nm izdanja i koliko god se radi o marketinškim nazivima, Intel je opet koju generaciju u zaostatku, zato sad u isto vrijeme koriste TSMC i guraju svoje u nadi da se što više mušterija ulovi, a opet na kraju dana isti potencijalni klijenti zajedno s Intelom ovise o TSMC-u. Začarani krug.

Intel is gunning for nVidia

• nVidia blames Intel for GPU VRAM errors, tells GeForce gamers experiencing 13th or 14th Gen CPU instability to contact Intel support
  
• nVidia points Intel Raptor Lake CPU users to get help from Intel amid system instability issues
  

Intel CEO definitivno djeluje zastrašujuće dok se spotiče po pozornici i sramoti jedva izgovarajući ključne PR riječi.
