Intel Corp. is poised to announce plans this week to cut more than 20% of its staff, aiming to eliminate bureaucracy at the struggling chipmaker, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

I’m hoping Arc survives all this?

I know they want to focus, but no one’s going to want their future SoCs if the GPU part sucks or is nonexistent. Heck, it’s important for servers, eventually.

Battlemage is good!

Yeah, have an offer, normally prefer startups but this isn't the best time for those.

Have a newer Nvidia, but the A750 is a beast, and I want to port a Cuda stack over.

Considering how badly Nvidia's been pricing their dGPUs, the market's ripe for a low cost alternative to fill a niche for years to come.

'Competitors' just use nvidia's price gouging as an excuse to charge more themselves.

Not sure which chipmakers survive a 245% tariff…

[–] TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Does Intel make its main CPUs in China for those high tariffs?

Looked it up and found this info at least:

Key US Locations:

Arizona (Fab 52 and 62), New Mexico (Fab 9 and 11x), and Oregon (Hillsboro) are major Intel manufacturing hubs in the US, with the new Fab 42 and 32 also being part of a larger campus in Arizona. Ohio is also a major site with construction well underway for two new leading-edge chip factories.

Global Footprint:

Intel also has manufacturing facilities in locations like Israel (Jerusalem, Kiryat Gat) and Ireland (Leixlip).

Expansion and Future:

Intel is actively expanding its global network with new fabs in Ohio, Germany, and other locations, according to Intel Newsroom and plans to make the German fab one of the most advanced in the world.

My friend is on one of the teams working on that so I suppose I'll know soon enough if they're gutting that portion. So far he hasn't said anything, so here's hoping they're safe!
