That's one way to kill off the remaining American foundry business, since if US can't compete now and Korean and Chinese workers are as good, then there is no reason to shift production off in the long term.
Did Intel ever get its foundry business off the ground? I remember some announcements in the last year or two, and then some rumors of yields not being good enough for the customers to move forward, and now some rumors of Intel thinking of spinning off the business. This partnership might be a watered down version of those plans.
Last I heard Intel claimed that their next process 18Angstrom should be on track and amazing.
But as far as I remember they said the same about the current 20Angstrom process.
It looks weird that they call it Angstrom when his name was Ångstrøm. I know that Angstrom is the international name of the unit, but still. If you can't spell or pronounce a name correctly, maybe you should call it something else.
It's like they are struggling to be edgy, but instead they look goofy.
Maybe we should call mr. Gelsinger for mr. Geringer here, which would mean smaller in German.
They didn't name the node size after the guy they named it after the unit since it's approaching sub-nanometer node size.
I literally already wrote that:
And I wrote the international name too:
But the problem isn't Intel, it's the internationalization that was done wrong for some reason, the correct way to internationalize Ångstrøm is Aangstroem.
