Cars are expensive because 'chip shortages'. Intel tanking because 'chip glut'.

Hmmm.

Why not both? Intel's type of chips might not be cars' type of chips.

They are definitely not the same.

Can’t believe that comment got upvoted in r/technology of all places.

Oh wait, this is reddit

A glut in consumer chips according to the article. Not the specialized ones in vehicles.

The mature market is actually 28nm/14nm chips, not high end CPU/GPU processors.

A lot of it is caused by the panic to ‘bring semiconductor manufacturing back home’ where fabs concentrate on sub 7nm while neglecting the rest of the chip market.

Automotive grade chips differ than commercial or industrial chips. The lack of PC sales have glutted the market. Companies like TI focused more of their Covid restart in the automotive market, Intel gambled on commercial. The testing of commercial and industrial chips isn’t as stringent.
