  • Intel Foundry scores $3B for defense chips
    On a busy Monday, Intel also revealed it won up to $3 billion in funding under the CHIPS and Science Act to establish a secretive manufacturing program called the “Secure Enclave.”

    This is probably the saving grace for Intel, USA will not allow to be dependent on production outside USA, and AFAIK there are no other remaining US foundries left that are remotely competitive with a world leading production process.

    The logic seems sound to me.

    If they all look at thin air, and claim there is different kinds of magical beings, and as evidence they say they imagined it, isn’t it reasonable to conclude there actually is none of the magical beings they claim? Since they use the same vastly erroneous process to make similar extraordinary claims.

    As Richard Dawkins say: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.


  • A dispute over how much profit Intel stood to take from each chip sold to the Japanese electronics giant blocked Intel from settling on the price with Sony,

    Yeah that’s what I thought, Intel simply isn’t competitive. For a console SOC the CPU part eats about twice the power of an AMD, and the GPU part cost about twice to make, because it needs twice the die area to compete with AMD on performance. This creates design restrictions, and makes the system more expensive to build.

    I’m surprised Intel was even in the game, they’d obviously have to sell at a deficit to compete. Maybe it was to prevent AMD from getting a sweet deal?
    If Intel were serious about it, and had confidence in their technologies, they’d have taken a bad deal now, and improved their technologies to make it profitable later. But Intel already has problems with profitability, so maybe they won’t take on another loss giving investment.

    When AMD took the console business from Nvidia/Intel, they made a cutthroat offer, that Nvidia refused to compete with, and now AMD is dominant and make good money on consoles.








  • Yes you are right, just some language confusions there.
    In Danish to be called Chicken is “Kylling”, Which is the non adult bird, and the species is called Høne which sounds like Hen, but in English is the female bird.
    Also in Danish when you eat Chicken it is Kylling, which is definitely not the adult bird, where the meat is dry and tough.
    So when in English the meat you eat is called chicken, it either sucks or is in reality Pullet.
    So why the word pullet isn’t more common, or something else describing the non adult female chicken IDK. When in 90% of cases that seems to be what is understood by “Chicken”.

    But I’m pretty sure when people are called chicken, it is not supposed to mean the male cock.
