Intel Corp (INTC)

[Unkwn]

Samsung now ready to produce 7nm chips with EUV in volume. TSMC still uses immersion lithography for 7nm with many exposure steps and masks. TSMC was first with 7nm but Samsung is first with EUV. We'll see what it does to their foundry business and how it competes with TSMC in terms of pricing, mask costs etc. Samsung definitely is head on head with TSMC.

I think Intel also uses EUV for its 10nm process, not sure though. Anyone got information on that? Maybe some of their problems are related to that, since EUV seems really hard to do.
