I had to check the date on the article. They’ve been making GPUs for 3 years now, but I guess this announcement–although weird–is a sign that Arc is here to stay, which is good news.
This article was based off what the CEO said at the Second Annual AI Summit, following the news of their new head of GPU hire who says he “will lead GPU engineering with a focus on AI at Intel”. The AI pivot is the actual news.
Weird, they’re a bit late boarding this train as it already starts to derail…MS just stumbled hard as their AI shit isn’t paying off and it drives consumers away.
The actual chips are farmed out to TSMC, I don’t believe they’ve made any in house so I’m guessing maybe they’ve decided that they’re going to do that sometimes now? But then, even some of their CPUs are made by TSMC so I could be on a very wrong path.
TSMC is how they stay competitive; that’s what everyone else uses
Intel is still catching up with 18A
The 18A production node itself is designed to prove that Intel can not only create a compelling CPU architecture but also manufacture it internally on a technology node competitive with TSMC’s best offerings.

Just what every consumer needs. More AI focused chips.
Intel just trying to cash in on the AI hype to buy the sinking ship, as far as investors are concerned.

It feels like TechCrunch is allowing a drunk Ai to write all its articles now.
thanks for your effort

You are a bit out of date. I cant say what I know, but tsmc is just one player now. Semiconductor industry is about to make some jumps.
They want to make Celestial on 18A, no?
