The problem isn't the tech... the problem is the pricing. Can Intel price competitively vs TSMC? Ha ha ha ha...
We’re gonna build a wall.
It’ll be a big wall. A beautiful wall. It’ll be the biggest, most beautiful wall of them all.

I would read the fine print in the paper.
TSMC is a double pumped SRAM at 4GHz. 2 operations per cycle.
Blah blah blah
Negative $10B in operating margin.
Nice science project, but if it loses money, it’s all moot.
TSM 38 Mb/mm2 N2 HD SRAM
INTC 38 Mb/mm2 18A HD SRAM
18a 5.6 vs N2 4.2 GHz @ 1.05 volts.. oof...
a 33% difference increase in frequency at iso voltage that is ridiculous difference
Another interpretation is Intel can do 4.2 GHz at less than 0.8V.
Even if we assume 0.8V, that means Intel needs 58% of the same power usage at 4.2 GHz as TSMC does. (f*V^2).
I hope those in charge pay the price when we get ripped apart

How d-mb does one have to be ? Its a published paper, why would it be fake news?
Id--t.

TSMC fan boys and prod co engineers having a panic attack right now.
Will be crazy to see Intel hit 70% margins!
