There is nothing that actually says that TSMC 7nm was twice as dense as Intel's 14nm++, not even close. The width of TSMC 7nm was 22nm, while Intel 14nm++ was 24nm. TSMC 7 still fit a lot more transistors, but nowhere near double the amount that 14nm was capable of, and it was comparable to the density that Intel's 10nm mobile CPUs had. So even if Intel has a higher process number at all times, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're actually losing by much or at all in terms of actual transistor density.

NOTHING wrong with keeping factories in house.,.. it was intels strenght and would be again.. if stupid board would not now have fired the ceo.
the plan WAS to regain factory lead... that was why they sold so many assets 4 years ago.. and why they accepted 7 lean years.. of which only 4 have passed...
so basicly they now enter the valley of death as expected.. before payof of this gamble comes.. and just as they equal TSMC's production and are about to overtake them...
and BOOM in move idiotic board members firing the ceo... hitting the brake on research force cashing in in excisting tech.. meaning all goes to waste cause of shortsightedness for short term gains..
sure one could argue intel COULD also have gone another route.. intel could have instead bet all on fabs.. could have sold those and invested all that money instead in process development... but they did not... and the course is plotted... to chance it now now the warchest is empty and your already past halfway and on track getting fab lead again..
is IDIOTIC
stock price was irrelevant...
all that mattered was cash reserves.. and if they kept up with time table for those fabs...
which they were..
if you get 3 years lead in fabs again.. you automaticly will have the best chips that charge the largest margin.. etc etc etc...
just as how if you lag behind in fabs the reverse happend...
all that happend was in line with the 7 year plan to regain the fabrication lead.... which now is squandered by firing him.
if anything before this news I was hungry looking at that intel stock and planning to buy all I could for this low price I would have betted it would go waaaay up in a few years..
but now they fired the man with vision.. cause they want dividents right now.... to stupid to wait till the harvest is ripe.. nope all doomed..
granted they might hire somebody better at PR .. but selling product was for this moment it time.. just an afterthought... basicly to limit the losses... it was not ment to make profit at this time...
And wasn't the second example also only done after some intense pressure too? I might be wrong, but I've oft heard it claimed that they gave in only after they were pressured to (which, granted, is still more than they did here with Raptor Lake). It's easy to make a good consumer-favored quote after the fact, whether or not it originally was.
Politicians are good for this too; voting against something, and then when it wins despite that, claiming to their constituents that they made it happen for them. It's disgusting.
Unfortunately, that's big business at the high level. If it ever favors consumers, it's not out of altruism, but more out of coincidence since it needs to still happen to grow or compete. Once in a dominant position, or once a long big name, companies are expected to grow, grow, grow for shareholders.
uhhh, none of what you said makes sense. We aren't 4 years into a 7 year anything.
Intel sat on their hands selling us quad cores for 11 years with minimal gains past sandybridge and got caught with their pants down.
It takes 5~6 years to have a new CPU idea and then sell said CPU. Intel is one year past that because they also wanted to make their own chips and the hand sitting screwed that up making things worse.
The only 7 year anything is from the point Ryzen blitz'd them till now.
Board Manufacturers started putting wrong settings in BIOS cooking intel's fastest cpu's/ i9's.
Intel can bankrupt those board manufacturers right now with the right attorneys.
But they won't because the State Department does not want Taiwan going bankrupt.
So intel goes bankrupt. lmao
Everything you said was just made up by you.
A federal court had literally NOTHING to do with Intel not making motherboards anymore and Intel STILL MAKES their own CPUs.
No IDEA where you came up with that.
Second, the only generation that saw settings not endorsed by Intel was the 8000 CPUs literally before the first consumer I9.
After that going beyond "spec" was Intel's official stance. Infact ALL of Intel's own benchmarks are done going beyond "spec".
You think ANY of their advertised performance is done at "stock" settings?
If Intel actually wanted to have their official numbers be the real numbers they would have enforced them but they never did. Period.
Intel has no legal case against board partners. Period.
Why did you spend so much time writing this lie up?
you dont get it.. cause your uninformed
the products intel has been releleasing last 4 years are irrelvant.
basicly in 2021 they solds assets.. lay off staff.. and would do less releases and would let what was released being made by tsmc..
all would be invested to imptive their manufacturing tech at blazing speed.
instead of normal 1.5 years per step they would do 8 months per step and skip production phase (backtoback research at max speed and funding)
so we would have gotten an intel pullinh off an ryzen.. coming back out of nothing slamming amd back in ita pkace around 2023 with until than muddling to keep the hose from leaking to much cash..
the board now ending that roadmap is utterly stupid basucly they invested everything in a 7 year research project and now cancel it 4 years it.. utterly stupid.
The last four years of products were highly relevant.
They missed out on many profitable markets and even failed to keep pace with their manufacturing. They embarked on a planned restructure, and to pay for that they were reducing staff and selling off assets. That was planned. What was not planned was the problems they had with the 13th and 14th gen processors and that they had to hand manufacture of the 15th gen to external fabricators. The dismal failure of the 15th gen was the final straw. So, yes, the products over the past four years were very relevant.
That Federal Government ruling is likely older than you. Intel used to make its own motherboards and cpu's and was forced to stop.

First off no the ruling isnt older than me.
Second. Just, wow.
Like, OMG you can't be serious with this. You are so BLINDLY CONFIDENT in your nonsense that you didn't even bother READING what you posted.
As a matter of fact there has NEVER been ANY ruling forcing Intel to stop making motherboards or CPUs.
Infact if you were old enough you'd remember that Intel made their own motherboards through Haswell which means they continued making boards for 15 YEARS AFTER THE SETTLEMENT!
As for CPUs? THEY NEVER STOPPED!
Intel is STILL MAKING THEIR OWN CPUS TO THIS DAY!
Why are you like this?
