Intel doesn’t have the ability to accept orders from many other companies. One of Intel’s few customers, Altera, was bought up by Intel.
There’s a reason why I was talking about GlobalFoundries from Buffalo, New York. They were the last 3rd party fabricator of USA.
So no. Intel cannot make iPhones, even if they come a year or two later than TSMC’s 3nm process (TSMC was making the 3nm iPhone 15 last year), it is meaningless in the scope of Apple or Qualcomm.
In any case, you’re comparing Intel 2024 vs TSMC from the year 2022. TSMC is releasing 2nm this year and has been producing 3nm for the past 2 years consistently. Intel barely catches up, will NOT have the flexibility to take 3rd party designs from AMD, Apple or Qualcomm… and then immediately falls behind TSMC’s 2nm process in just months.
We are however going around in circles so I’ll likely leave it here.
Name a single factory in the USA that is capable of making a Snapdragon or iPhone M3. I dare you. All you’ve contributed is nonsense. Intel cannot make these chips. GlobalFoundaries cannot make these chips. TI can’t make these chips.
CHIPS act isn’t about “pulling ahead” of Taiwan. CHIPS act is just barely catching up to them if we perfectly execute over the next few years. And there are severe doubts if the USA is capable of doing so. I’m glad that we’re trying to catchup in this important manufacturing race. But I fully admit we’re behind and need further investments.
Which is completely different to your first post about wizards and no one else can do it nonsense.
Name a factory anywhere in the world that competes with TSMC 3nm.
Aside from Samsung (aka: South Korea), who is truly the only 3rd party fabricator who accepts orders from other companies (ie: can support fabless companies like Apple or NVidia), and can provide the advanced process nodes to hit the iPhone M3 specs.
And remember, 3nm is a node that TSMC has been producing at scale for iPhones since 2022. We’re reaching the 2nd year of TSMC’s mass-production of 3nm and no other country in the world has mastered 3nm like Taiwan has. They are literally wizards. If you want the best and most advanced transistors, you go to TSMC. Period.
