Intel’s 18A Chip Reportedly Delayed Until 2026 Amid Low Yield Rates Making Large-Scale Production Economically Unviable, But There’s a Strategic Upside Behind the Move

Intel really needs to get its sh*t together, and fast.

Pat probably was too aggressive with the plants, overspending money building too many and too fast, but at least it looked like he had a plan. With this new guy the plan seems to be to cut, cut and cut even more, even if that may save Intel today at the expense of the Intel of tomorrow.

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D Availability Worsens; Likely Hinting To Its End Of Life

Good CPU, almost as good as the 5800X3D with better value. But it was going to happen sooner or later.

I could not care less about Intel, the morally bankrupt corrupted company. Broadcom would probably buy them out anyway; I cannot think of any other companies.

I understand the feeling, but you should really care about it. Intel is the owner of the X86 IP, with AMD having a license to use it. If Intel disappears, we don't know what could happen with it, who could buy it and if it would renew the license to AMD (and VIA) or even sell more licenses to other companis (Nvidia wanted to buy one years ago, not sure if they would still be interested in it).

There is also the problem of patents, Intel and AMD have a bunch of them that they share with each others thanks to a cross-license agreement. And just like with the x86 license, if Intel's gone, what will happen with them?

And then there's the obvious reason: AMD is just another company. If they find themselves with a whole market to themselves, they'll behave just like Intel (and Nvidia in the GPU market). Think about it, when was the last time AMD launched a desktop Ryzen 3 CPU? I'll tell you, since the 3000 series. Since then, they haven't bothered with those low-end parts.
