Intel CPU shortages still real, select low-power chips could be offloaded to GlobalFoundries

[Redaktion]

Rumor has it that GlobalFoundries could offload some of the low-power Intel CPUs, including Celeron Pentium and possibly Core i3 models in order to help with the ever-increasing demand for mid-range and high-end Intel CPUs. Further down the line, Intel may also collaborate with TSMC for the production of high-end Xe gaming GPUs.

A good rule of writing is to mention the abbreviations at the start. In this case, writing GlobalFoundries(GloFo) at the first instance in main text would have been nice.

another helping hand for Su.

So there wasn't an incompatibility of design tools between Intel and the others? Or did Intel really go though the lengths to redesign the low end low margin models for GloFo??

why not? they need to survive a bit, keep their monopolistic market share until competitive products. and they have a shitload of money. minus 100 millions is nothing.

Only market share, i.e. marketing concerns makes sense. I don't see them making that 100M back with the likes of Celeron.

no no, nothing about "back", just throwing 100 millions into a garbage can. they can afford if easily.
