Intel's upcoming 6nm and 3nm Xe GPUs to be built by TSMC following the 10nm debacle

[Redaktion]

Intel is reportedly abandoning its own 10nm process in favor of TSMC for upcoming Xe GPUs, according to Tech News Taiwan sources. The rumor underscores indications that Intel's 10nm process is doing poorly, something Team Blue's CFO recently discussed on record.

Sounds like a weird unfounded rumor like all those TSMC rumors that came before.

Even if 10nm yields aren't good they still need xE for their integrated gpus which for efficiency sake on laptops i doubt they will be in a chiplet form.

So that means designing products for two completely different process nodes.  Plus intel has 7nm coming next year which should be equivalent to TSMC 5nm

Makes sense, GPUs are more parallel and could be manufactured on the latest nodes to maximize density without having to scale up the frequency too much.
