Comment on Intel’s Troubles Complicate U.S. Chip Independence
HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 2 months agoI suspect Intel has a broader product range than AMD to justify the headcount, but I’m not sure where the extra resources should go.
Their networking chipsets were gold-standard in the 100M and Gigabit era, but their 2.5G stuff is spotty to the point Realtek is considered legit.
They’ve pulled back from flash, SSDs and Optane.
There must be some other rich product lines that they do and AMD doesn’t

AMD doesn’t have fabs, and contracts that work out to TSMC. Intel has fabs worldwide. That alone makes Intel a much more capital-intensive, labor-intensive business.
