Never thought I’d see the absolute downfall of Intel in my lifetime but the last decade has not been good for them.
To be fair, they sat on their hands for a fair amount of it.
For the record, the TSMC N2 node being worked on experimentally at the moment (and is expected to be more performant than Intel’s 18A) currently has over 60% yields.
We don’t have exact figures on TSMC N4 (what AMD CPUs currently use), but reporting is widely that it is “over 80%”.
Wow, TSMC is absolutely killing it.
Does this A in 18A stand for ångström? Can they even produce anything below 10 nm?
Yes, it does. It’s ambitious and a real stretch for Intel. But some are doubting this story of the yields being so low:
