    Intel is giving away a free card:
    https://www.tomshardware.com/news/in...emist-giveaway

    That officially does not make it vaporware.

    Taiwan's UDN has talked to an insider who says that Intel Arc GPUs will be produced by TSMC on its N6 process.

    Interesting, I wonder if this will mean silicon production lines will be disparate from the N7/N7+ lines meaning we won't just be watering down the silicon supply and therefore keeping the same amount of product available but from 3 vendors instead of 2.

    I don't think so.

    TSMC are all about low risk, and I though 7nm to 6nm was basically very similar but 6nm uses EUV steps (or more EUV steps) to decrease process time.

    I think for 6nm TSMC started a new line to do 6nm, they then encourage their customers to move to 6nm (same design rules, not the same masks: but better characteristics and possible less process steps). Then as 7nm demand trails off, I would expect them to retool some 7nm lines as 6nm.
