Intel 18A process node clocks an abysmal 10% yield

Citiraj:

In case you're wondering why Intel went with TSMC 3 nm to built the Compute tile of its "Arrow Lake" processor, and the SoC tile of "Lunar Lake," instead of Intel 3, or even Intel 20A, perhaps there's more to the recent story about Broadcom voicing its disappointment in the Intel 18A foundry node. The September 2024 didn't specify a number to what yields on the Intel 18A node looked like to spook Broadcom, but we now have some idea as to just how bad things are. Korean publication Chosun, which tracks developments in the electronics and ICT industries, reports that yield on the Intel 18A foundry node stand at an abysmal 10%, making it unfit for mass-production. Broadcom validated Intel 18A as it was prospecting a cutting-edge node for its high-bandwidth network processors.

The report also hints that Intel's in-house foundry nodes going off the rails could be an important event leading up to the company's Board letting go of former CEO Pat Gelsinger, as huge 2nd order effects will be felt across the company's entire product stack in development. For example, company roadmaps put the company's next-generation "Clearwater Forest" server processor, slated for 2025, as being designed for the Intel 18A node. Unless Intel Foundry can pull a miracle, an effort must be underway to redesign the chip for whichever TSMC node is considered cutting-edge in 2025.

Intel CEO admits 'I've bet the whole company on 18A

Citiraj:

"I’ve bet the whole company on 18A." So, says Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger in the most deadpan, matter-of-fact manner imaginable.
He's not glib. He's not joking. Everything rides on Intel's 18A process according to Gelsinger.

Intel 20A i 18A su zapravo dio iste nekadašnje 5nm obitelji, tak da, ako odustaju i otkazuju 20A, a pričaju da 18A ide bez problema (Broadcom se ne bi složil) - lažu sami sebe. Tim više lažu sami sebe kroz ove PR budalaštine, jer se već više od pola godine (1 - 2) zna da budu Lunar i Arrow Lake na TSMC 3nm procesu, a sad kao odjednom otkazuju nekaj kaj u startu nije valjalo.

I tak ...

Pat u šahu nastaje kada je kralj blokiran u šahu, a igrač nema niti jedan legalan potez kojim bi se izbjeglo šah-mat. Pat u šahu je situacija u kojoj igrači moraju biti pažljivi i razmišljati o svakom svom potezu kako bi izbjegli tu situaciju. U nekim slučajevima, pat se može koristiti kao strategija za izbjegavanje poraza ili za prisiljavanje protivnika na remi. Međutim, često je pat u šahu samo znak da igrači nisu dovoljno pažljivo razmišljali o svojim potezima i da su doveli igru u slijepu ulicu.
