Intel officially declared that it is now marketing that reduces "nanometers"

Future Intel products (from 12th Gen Alder Lake) will no longer use the nanometer-based node nomenclature that both it and the rest of the chipmaking industry has used for years.

Intel is debuting a new naming scheme that it says will provide “a more accurate view of process nodes across the industry” and how Intel’s products fit into that landscape.

Third-generation 10nm chips will be referred to as “Intel 7,” instead of getting some 10nm-based name.

• Intel 7 (formerly Intel 10nm Enhanced SuperFIN technology) - will provide an increase in performance per watt of about 10-15% compared to Intel 10nm SuperFin by optimizing the structure of FinFET transistors. The technology will be used in the production of Alder Lake processors due this year and Sapphire Rapids server chips, which will begin shipping in the first quarter of 2022.
• Intel 4 (formerly Intel 7nm) - Will provide about 20% improvement in performance per watt along with further increases in transistor density and the introduction of EUV lithography. Intel 4 will debut in the second half of 2022 and will be used in Meteor Lake client processors and Granite Rapids server processors due in 2023.
• Intel 3 - Delivers about 18% performance per watt gain over Intel 4, leveraging further FinFET optimizations and enhanced EUV lithography. Intel 3 is expected to be ready for mass production in the second half of 2023.
• Intel 20A - will be the first Intel process technology with the dimension of transistors in angstroms. The Intel 20A is expected to launch in 2024.
• Intel 18A - slated for early 2025. At this stage, Intel intends to implement High NA EUV lithography, for which the company is partnering with ASML.

Intel is forced to reduce huge Xeon margins

Globalfoundries (GF) has announced expansion plans for its most advanced manufacturing facility in upstate New York over the coming years. These plans include immediate investments to address the global chip shortage at its existing Fab 8 facility as well as construction of a new fab on the same campus that will double the site's capacity.

GF said it will invest US$1 billion to immediately add an additional 150,000 wafers per year within its existing fab to help address the global chip shortage.

Big price hikes had been required for this.

Company also is getting ready for merger with Intel.

In China things are not so bad

TSMC is gearing up for a bigger presence in the automotive IC foundry market segment, with its newly-developed N5A process set to be available in the third quarter of 2022, according to industry sources.

TSMS PR expenses are now highest ever, and soon you will be watching how for hundreds of millions of marketing TSMC will be selling you old 7nm as newest 4nm process.

Taiwan as part of criminal plot

Revenue from the export of integrated circuits and semiconductor stuff in June reached a record high. China and the United States remained the most loaded export destinations, demonstrating an increase in profile revenues by 37.8 and 34.5% compared to the previous year's level, respectively.

Total exports revenue of Taiwan across all industries in June grew by 35.1% year-on-year to $ 36.7 billion, which is already the second highest value on record. Import revenue increased by 42.3% to $ 31.5 billion, the foreign trade balance increased to $ 5.2 billion compared to last year.

All we saw is planned crime that involved mass media and top leading corporations and banks.

At the beginning of 2019, Samsung Electronics hoped to implement a 3nm process technology in the 3GAE variety by the end of 2020 at the pilot production stage, and by the end of 2021, move to mass production. Compared to 7nm technology, the plan was to increase the switching speed of transistors by 35%, reduce power consumption by 50%, and the density of the transistors was to increase by 45%. The targets are currently revised downward. For example, the gain in speed has been reduced to 10%, the increase in density has been reduced to 25%, and in terms of energy consumption, progress has deteriorated to 20%. Informed sources report that the appearance of 3-nm serial products in the performance of Samsung will have to wait until 2024.

Its the wall.

TSMC alone accounts for 92 percent of the supply of cutting-edge chips, with Samsung providing the rest. The company also reportedly makes about 60 percent of the chips for car manufacturers around the world. Which means that when those companies run out of capacity, there’s not a lot of other places to go to get those processors.

Imperialism, the last stage of capitalism.

Demise era.

Taiwan-based IC design houses, including first-tier players and those specializing in LCD driver ICs and MOSFET chips, have been notified by their foundry partners about another price hikes starting July 1.

You will see the wall meetup in slow motion soon.

No, they seriously need your money

A group of bipartisan lawmakers on the Senate Finance Committee have introduced legislation that seeks to incentivize chipmakers to manufacture their silicon in the US. The Facilitating American-Built Semiconductors Act would provide companies with a 25 percent tax credit when they invest in domestic semiconductor manufacturing equipment and facilities.

According to the panel, as much as 70 percent of the cost advantage overseas chip foundries offer come on the back of foreign subsidies. The proposed subsidy would be in addition to the $52 billion the Senate earmarked last week as part of the US Innovation and Competition Act.

Interesting facts, isn't it?

All over the world government criminals go into people pockets to make super profitable chip makers at the others expense to later just steal this money and live posh life.

Unstable shipments of Intel's recently introduced Tiger Lake-U Refresh processors, coupled with the ongoing shortages of certain ICs, will put pressure on the supply chain in releasing notebooks with the new processors in the third quarter of 2021, according to industry sources.

Intel also needs money.
