While Intel has been experiencing rough times of late, there might be some good news on the horizon for its foundry business. Rather than just making chips for its own product and a few other companies, a report is claiming that Intel is currently working with Broadcom and Nvidia to see if its 18A process node is good enough for high-end GPUs, SoCs, and other critical processors.
Don't put your eggs in one basket is probably the most apt idiom for how chip giants are approaching manufacturing at the moment. That's because when it comes to CPUs, GPUs, APUs, and SoCs for desktop PCs, laptops, tablets, phones, and consoles, the vast majority of such processors are all made by one company: TSMC.
