Another day, another "bad news for Intel" story. In a year of dismal financial results, disappointing desktop chips, internal turmoil and... you know the rest. However, if the latest rumours are to be believed, things might be even worse than previously thought when it comes to its foundry business.
After the resignation of its CEO, Pat Gelsinger, earlier this week, a report from South Korean outlet Chosun Daily say that Intel's 18A process is producing yields of just 10% (via TrendForce). Gelsinger had previously stated that he'd "bet the whole company on 18A", and that seems like a gamble that may have catastrophically backfired if this latest figure turns out to be true.
