The Intel Execution Thread [2020]

Both Intel and AMD will get their capacities, thanks to Huawei exit.

 

AMD yes, booked already, Intel maybe.
Huawei was chomped down by our favourite Apple/AMD/Nv trio.
Qualcomm exit early next year gives Intel wafers, but not of N5 kind unfortunately.

 

Rumor says Intel is trying to secure N3 in 2022~. We will see.

 

That'll be interesting, yeah; new gigafab is bound to bring a lot of capacity up.

Yeah but it's 2023 and I can already smell the stench of Intel politics canning the outsourcing endeavors.

 

Since Muthy is out, looks like team outsource won.

 

Idunno, ol' TMG heads are still in, even if the mgmt structure is flatter at the top.
Could go either way, Intel's choke full of bullshit.

 

They will find a way. Decoupling architecture from processor node gave them flexibility for moments like this.

 

That just applies to the big cores, everything else was on TSMC here and there, including phone Atoms.
It's more about TMG throwing mass shitfits than any Intel technical capability.

 

I suppose this is a suitable thread for this, there has been a massive "Exconfidential Lake" breach/leak at Intel.
According to leaker, his anonymous source breached Intel earlier this year for the files, but according to Tom's Hardware Intel has commented that they're from Intel Resource and Design Center and most likely leaked by someone who had legitimate access to them.
First set of files is nearly 17GB of NDA'd data and according to leaker the next batches will be even juicier.
First batch includes:

• Intel ME Bringup guides + (flash) tooling + samples for various platforms
• Kabylake (Purley Platform) BIOS Reference Code and Sample Code + Initialization code (some of it as exported git repos with full history)
• Intel CEFDK (Consumer Electronics Firmware Development Kit (Bootloader stuff)) SOURCES
• Silicon / FSP source code packages for various platforms
• Various Intel Development and Debugging Tools
• Simics Simulation for Rocket Lake S and potentially other platforms
• Various roadmaps and other documents
• Binaries for Camera drivers Intel made for SpaceX
• Schematics, Docs, Tools + Firmware for the unreleased Tiger Lake platform
• (very horrible) Kabylake FDK training videos
• Intel Trace Hub + decoder files for various Intel ME versions
• Elkhart Lake Silicon Reference and Platform Sample Code
• Some Verilog stuff for various Xeon Platforms, unsure what it is exactly.
• Debug BIOS/TXE builds for various Platforms
• Bootguard SDK (encrypted zip)
• Intel Snowridge / Snowfish Process Simulator ADK
• Various schematics
• Intel Marketing Material Templates (InDesign)
• Lots of other things

 

Part four where Keller shows his best boy chops but unfortunately he left.

 

How come nobody is talking about this? It seems pretty significant. 42TFLOPS via 4 chip MCM

Here's the thread dedicated to Intel Xe chips.

can Aurora be uncursed by cancelation and rebidding I wonder

 

Intel still the biggest, but AMD, NVIDIA and TSMC are growing fast
