Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

BK in today's Wall St Journal

Please someone decode what he's talking about? What 1.6M photos per device??? The question was about using AI in operations and who the real players are:

"MR. KRZANICH: I think it comes down to, can you show a case that is genuinely shifting how that company does something. Let me give you a real-life example within Intel. Intel’s one of the largest manufacturers in the world. We produce about a million chips a day, roughly. For each one of those million chips we take about 1.6 million pictures as it progresses through the production line.

He implied 1.6M photos per device to the interviewer, but either way, he's self-aggrandizing and bloviating to make Intel seem relevant. Someone from the fabs told him that and it seemed impressive, so he works it into conversations.

He didn't say "1.6M photos per DEVICE", @ OP, he's talking about the chips as they are produced. But yeah, 1.6M is a pretty darn big number and very hard to wrap your head around.

I have a hard time believing every single die is imaged 1.6M times even with 50 plus masks, assembly and test. Did he add a few zeros to inflate his case? Blame it on the reporterifall else fails.

@wot - You overestimate the big klown way too much. I perfectly understand what he's talking about, and trust me, he doesn't have the slightest clue about AI. He can only see things in terms of his only expertise which is being a fab monkey. No creativity, imagination or insight for anything beyond that. It's no wonder every single new business venture has failed on his watch. BK is the perfect example of Dunning-Kruger.
