    Last I heard Intel claimed that their next process 18Angstrom should be on track and amazing.
    But as far as I remember they said the same about the current 20Angstrom process.

    It looks weird that they call it Angstrom when his name was Ångstrøm. I know that Angstrom is the international name of the unit, but still. If you can’t spell or pronounce a name correctly, maybe you should call it something else.
    It’s like they are struggling to be edgy, but instead they look goofy.

    Maybe we should call mr. Gelsinger for mr. Geringer here, which would mean smaller in German.

      They didn’t name the node size after the guy they named it after the unit since it’s approaching sub-nanometer node size.

      Intel canceled their 20A after bad results, and shifted focus to 18A.

      It’s even to the point that their own Arrow Lake chips are going to be fabbed by TSMC.

        Oh I didn’t know it was completely cancelled, sounds like the infamous 10nm all over again.
        But I’m pretty sure Pat Gelsinger claimed 20A would be amazing, right up until there were complaints that the yields were awful.

        Still I hope Intel succeeds, because we don’t want an Asian monopoly on high end chip production.
