Ann would be gone if I was Pat. She took way to long to adopt EUV. Start taking risks Pat.

Good thing you're not Pat then since she had nothing to do with the decision to not buy EUV machines and gamble on high density 10nm using DUV instead.

"That's an excellent way to say that Intel does not give up on its fabs."

Or maybe it's about making changes before getting rid of the fabs.

Right now, only Intel knows the reasons for this change, maybe somebody will leak the reason to MLID and we will soon hear what that reason was

This group should know the answer to this simple question. Is Intel using High NA or Low NA EUV to build 18A in Chandler. And if it's Low NA why did they move their Low NA tools recently from Oregon to Ireland and not to Chandler. And if it's High NA were they being dishonest or just cute when they said that Oregon was getting it's second High NA tool recently, indicating as any freshman English teacher would tell you that Oregon was getting it's second tool, not Intel overall. Leading one to ask, exactly how many tools do they already have in Chandler and what type are they.

AFAIK when it comes to volume Chandler is DUV, Ireland is EUV (they also have DUV, but was first volume fab to get EUV so I'm not sure how much capacity is left) and Oregon is EUV and High-NA (this is also the development facility so they have DUV, but I don't believe there's volume manufacturing left). Ohio was supposed to be 18A for their first node which would mean Chandler would likely be transitioned to the "12" node Intel is developing with UMC. It's not clear what sort of changes may be in store due to the fab delays.

14A is supposed to be the first High-NA volume node.
