To clarify something that we weren’t 100% clear on communicating: Intel has its own fab capabilities to eventually produce its own GPU silicon. We were not saying they are doing that now, just that they can one day and this is a huge advantage. Right now, they use TSMC. We should have been more clear because that caused confusion in the comments.
