Intel plans to rival TSMC and Samsung as a chip supplier
And I plan to date supermodels. /sOkay I'll try to be constructive. TSMC is two things: The biggest contracting foundry in the world, and a leader in EUV application for tiny geometries. I think it's possible for Intel to become a contracting foundry; it goes against their DNA but Gelsinger very much wants to do it. So that's the first thing. Maybe it'll happen.The second thing is much more problematic.> Intel is still working on getting its 5-nm mass production going, and says it will begin manufacturing Intel 3 -- its answer to TSMC's 3-nm tech -- in the second half of 2023.This I'm much more skeptical about. Intel tried to make EUV work before and failed. Still they seem to be buying ASML equipment and installing it at Ronler Acres:https://www.protocol.com/enterprise/intel-euv-fab-chipsBut it still sounds like a long shot to get it working in 2023.
