Can you describe the president's perspective on taking a stake on Intel in exchange for federal grants? Are we expecting to see the white house make similar arrangements with other companies? Leavitt: It is a creative idea that has never been done before China, Russia, NK… all are cry-laughing

I'll argue here that none of them are the same thing, and for our purposes are worse.

Sounds like the Chinese Communist party. They use private enterprise to fund the military and ensure the corporate leadership does exactly what they are told by the dictator Xi. Amazing that CEO's want to be led around by their noses by an orange idiot.

Intel prioritized stock price over r&d, but the 13-14th generation i5/i7/i9 over 65 watts, which was all of them bc they were on a 10nm process node when Apple is 2nm and amd/samsung etc are at 3nm. My 12th gen i7 runs so hot it breaks motherboards, 2 have been repaired and are both broken.

UnitedWeStand @idealisticrealism.bsky.social

So he’s assuming state control of a mismanaged business, like are they going to buy Boeing next? Magatel inside, bigly faster than woke AMD. Intel needed to hire TMSC to show them how to build chips at a 3nm size. Allowing lower temps. Supposed to be ok. Originally expensive, nobody bought them…

UnitedWeStand @idealisticrealism.bsky.social

So they had to cut the price. 12-14th generation processors going back to the chip shortage are still on store shelves and they had to rename it to the ultra 5/7/9 they’re on the 200 series and the 100 is still at stores. Imagine 5 generations of cpu and motherboards depreciating on shelves?

So basically computer power at 10 nanometers (nm) to get the processing power of an Apple M1 Pro, 10-20 watts, intel needs 180+ watts for generation 12-14 or processors above 65w but all the i5/i7/i9 were above 95w. Higher number is a better model. TMSC makes chips for many companies, at 2-3nm…

UnitedWeStand @idealisticrealism.bsky.social

So intel is able to use less energy, but this made the price of their processors really high, which wasn’t cost competitive with AMD, the other company which makes compatible processors. AMD was value intel until intel cut r&d and the cuts were felt in production, making intel increase power…

Electrical power for more compute power from old designs, this is mostly wasted as heat energy. I liquid cooled my 12th gen i7 and it still burned through 4 motherboards. Precious computers 1 fan in 1 out. This is 3 in 2 out, liquid cooled, and still it breaks. Intel wasn’t honoring warranties too
