US is already throwing CHIPS dollars at Intel whose latest chips are made by...TSMC

https://www.pcworld.com/article/2355435/intels-lunar-lake-is...




1) the CHIPS money Intel received is going to the Foundry, not the products group;

2) that's not Intel's latest chips, these are: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/pro... https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/pro...

One fully made by Intel Foundry, the other with at least some considerable TSMC parts (which isn't unexpected for the market segment it's in and the fact it was allegedly designed by Habana before it was bought out).


Right from Wiki my friend

    Lunar Lake is the codename for Core Ultra Series 2 mobile processors designed by Intel, released on September 24, 2024.
    
    Manufactured by: TSMC

It's September 27 round abouts here so I'm not sure it gets more recent than that.


1) Funny how you didn't address my first point which completely disproves your lie about Intel sending CHIPS money to TSMC.

2) It does get more recent than that: Granite Rapids (Xeon 6 built fully on Intel processes) and Gaudi 3 (TSMC built) were announced on the 24th and will be released later this year.

Maybe you shouldn't get so sassy when discussing things you know very little about.


    > ...and will be released later this year
You answered your own question; it's not a product on the market and therefore not released yet.

    > ...which completely disproves your lie about Intel sending CHIPS money to TSMC
I mean, this is kinda silly right? If I get a $48,000 a year housing stipend that I can only spend on housing, that means I have $48,000 more to spend elsewhere.

Also, you're arguing a strawman here. What I wrote:

    > US is already throwing CHIPS dollars at Intel
Which they are.

They didn't receive any money from CHIPS Act yet, did they?
