Thank you for standing on this critical soapbox @PatrickMoorhead!!

[Patrick Moorhead @PatrickMoorhead]

Thanks, @Intel_Foundry, for letting me get on my soapbox on the importance of having both leading-edge foundries and foundry IP on US soil.

Here are my quotes:

"Semiconductors are really the foundation for every major industry out there. Without semiconductors, there's no AI, no cars, and even modern healthcare and weapon systems, without chips. The biggest vulnerability that exists right now is geographic concentration. Taiwan commands over 70% of the global foundry market and manufactures roughly two-thirds of the world's most advanced logic chips, and you know the risk: a military conflict, an earthquake, or a policy dispute could disrupt supply in a huge way. Foreign companies are building boundaries in the United States, but what they're not doing is the core IP that actually goes in and makes those foundries work. Intel is the only domestic leading edge technology company that brings both the intellectual property, but also the foundries."

"The US economy runs on semiconductors, the way it used to run on steel and oil. You could look at the market caps of these companies, and it's absolutely gigantic, and kind of unlike steel, without the fabs, you can't, you can't just turn on a fab overnight, and I think a lot would be at stake if the US doesn't pull this off."

Great to be paired with Naga and Zivit.

I have always articulated EMIB as a "strategic bridge" for Intel foundry. (hopefully you see what I did there lol)

But, in this crazy world of capacity scarcity, Intel Foundry also being the only place you can mix and match wafers/tiles is another very strong differentiator.

[Al Thompson @AT983]

Thank you for your support @RepGregStanton!!

[Rep. Greg Stanton @RepGregStanton]

Thanks to the CHIPS and Science Act, Arizona is already the semiconductor capital of America — now we need to keep the momentum going.

Great meeting with TSMC, @intel, @Applied4Tech, and @AmkorTechnology to discuss their investments here in AZ and how Congress can keep our foot on the gas.

[Al Thompson @AT983]

That the USG should be an anchor customer for Intel Foundry. How does that sound @magicsilicon?

[Pushkar Ranade @magicsilicon]

What does this mean for silicon? 🤔

AI needs the "brain power" of multiple chips. At Fab 9 in New Mexico, @Intel_Foundry creates systems of chips using Foveros 3D stacking to optimize space for laptops to be thinner with longer lasting batteries. 💻

Watch how Foveros is created 👇
