If Intel were poised to be a growth stock I'd say, average down but in this case I don't think Intel's stock will ever recover

What's up with AMD? My dad of all people asked me if he should load up on AMD or if it's going to go down further Which is like... you guys don't know my dad, but it's a definite Shoeshine Boy Moment for him to ask about a stock

I believe they are intending to offer an older process for use in Automotive, possibly "Intel 16" (renamed 22nm, probably). I think its one of the things they intend to build at the new Ohio site. Pretty sure all of their third party offerings are a couple years out from commercial availability, and automotive designs aren't exactly famous for being quick to incorporate new technology

you mean replacement chips for old cars, don't you nobody will make those lol e. oh you are hoping for the supply chain of car chips to improve and unfuck the car market, I understand which country will intel manufacture automotive chips in?

GoGoGadgetChris posted:What's up with AMD? My dad of all people asked me if he should load up on AMD or if it's going to go down further I'm assuming they've been tanking because GPUs were being used to mine bitcoin en masse, which totally distorted the market, and they may well be hitting some kind of fundamental value level at some point. They're down about ~70%, which has roughly correlated to the BTC price: Yahoo finance 1 year AMD: https://shorturl.at/hlsG9 BTC 1 year: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BTC-USD?p=BTC-USD&.tsrc=fin-srch So I would guess it's something to do with that. I would say no, AMD has not bottomed out. Their essentially a producer of consumer electronics, or that is their core business, and without bitcoin miners to prop them up they are reliant on sales of consumer electronics, which you would assume would be mostly correlated to the economy, which the Fed is trying to blow up. Maybe the Fed Chair thinks If the bernank got a nobel for it they can too?

Pretty sure whoever is whispering in bidens ear (military industrial complex*?) is not going to let intel build factories outside of the conus ever lest they be captured by the Chinese, some serious American protectionism poo poo happening right now *The term was coined by outgoing president/retired general Eisenhower warning of what a problem they would be in politics down the road now that the money

Intel is supposedly pushing pretty hard for major new fabs in Europe as well. They also have a pretty sizable operation in Israel. New leading edge fabs in Asia seems much less likely (tho they do operate there as well). Also just read an article in Bloomberg reporting that they are quite possibly getting ready for massive layoffs due to the downturn in the PC market. Probably necessary, but not a good look when you just got tens of billions in subsidies and refuse to cut your dividend (so far at least)

Intel had claimed they want to do that, but I've always heard the Intel process is a hell of a lot more complicated to do design and layout for than TSMC. I don't know if that's still true. Maybe the Intel Oregoon has a better perspective.

I feel a hell of a lot better about AMD than I do Intel that's for sure. But yea feels like weakening consumer sentiment or whatever it is that is dragging PC sales is kicking everyone down. The hard drive sector like WD and Seagate is also dying.

I think its one of the things they intend to build at the new Ohio site. TSMC told everyone a few months ago to update anything they want to keep making to their 22nm node, which was the last stop before FinFET and implied that they will support it in perpetuity and declare it the foreverially mature CMOS process. Not surprising the rest of the industry will follow that bombshell.

Not surprising the rest of the industry will follow that bombshell. Design costs have really exploded with more advanced nodes (chart from 2018, but trend probably holds): tbh, the chart rekindled some interest in buying some Synopsys and/or Cadence stock (they make software tools for the semiconductor industry among other things), but I've lost enough money in semis this year and the valuations are still a little rich drk fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Oct 12, 2022 |

Sound like a quarterly team outting at a company that has updated their budget per person. Intel would give us ~$25/person per quarter. I had coworkers in Austin who would use it to rent a boat to go out on the lake and drink beer/eat BBQ. My current hardware company I think will give us about $50 per person, not sure if it's quarterly, but it requires someone take the initiative and actually organize something people would attend so nothing ever happens. All of the computer engineering and hardware companies I'm aware of pay lots of money to Synopsys and Cadence, though, so they seem like they'll be making money as long as we're still designing custom silicon.

I thought this about about Applied Materials, but they have tracked Intel's return almost to the bp this year: Only a token position in $AMAT though, since I dont feel like understand what they are up to as well as Intel. Will keep an eye on $SNPS, they are down ~14% in just the past 5 days. Below $200 (where prices were in 2020) seems like a better entry point, and this market probably wont bottom without significant good news about inflation and/or significant bad news about employment. Probably the only thing I'm buying this week is the 5 year TIPS auction, which is currently at a real yield of 1.8% (total yield = inflation + 1.8%). Boring, but much better than the rest of my portfolio this year

No, GPUs haven't been used for mining bitcoin in a long time. I think they just meant bitcoin in the "general crypto nonsense" way. Thankfully GPU mining is more or less dead now, though the Bitcoin faithful continue burning the proof of work torch and a small country's worth of electricity. A non small part of me hopes that the fed continues hiking until crypto prices enter their final death spiral.

So my groups' definitely used our Synopsys and Cadence licenses way more than we ever utilized the fab. (To explain $AMAT tracking $INTC) INTC sucks, and I wish we had sold off all of our RSUs when it was $60+

Silly old Wells fargo, up to their usual tricks. Apparently the loan officers have been manually editing home values in their system to avoid needing an appraisal. Sometimes lopping off as much as a cool million dollars from the true sales price Many of the affected loans have been sold to Fannie and Freddie and thus brought the full weight of the federal government down upon themselves They preemptively fired a few of the people who had a hand on the wheel at the time, but obviously that's not going to protect them. Many employees are saying that they were explicitly, specifically told to do this in order to qualify for appraisal waivers and make everyone's lives easier. Probably should not have sold those loans to entities under Federal conservatorship then, idiots!
