What's happening with all the money Biden has given Intel? That just disappeared?

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

It had probably been paid to people who deserve it less than me. I never steered Intel in a bad direction after all.

The money was to build fabs, which they are still doing - which is costing them most of their money they struggle to afford because their current chips are awful.

Their fabs may be shit too. Hopefully the new ones are better

I mean how bad can the fabs be - they'll be running ASML EUV machines right?

I'm not sure the tool is the the issue here?

A master carpenter with entry level tools will still do a much better job than a klutz with professional grade tools.

Yes, a pro just needs some sand and a lighter and a needle

They went through a phase where they were getting awful yields. No idea why they had those problems and others didn't.

Part of it was to create new jobs and hire people, meanwhile they - *checks notes* - fired a bunch of people?
