$INTC Intel CTO, Pushkar Ranade's interview highlights (from Intel's 50th Anniversary press in Japan):
Some quotes I liked a lot - Optimistic in the near and long-term future of Intel:
On 18A:
"...We are shipping a large number of products using our latest '18A' process, and we will be shipping even more products using 18A in the coming months.
On 14A:
In parallel with this, we are also developing '14A,' the next-generation process that aligns with semiconductor scaling laws. Development of 14A is progressing smoothly, and we will be ready to apply it to mass production in 2028-2029,"
On ASICs:
"A new pillar of this foundry business is its purpose-built silicon business, which involves custom designing AI accelerators and other components according to customer requests."
Ranade stated, "In this way, we have added two new businesses: custom-designed silicon and AI accelerators."
On Memory:
"Memory is no longer a commodity, but is becoming a very important component of computing."
On Intel's Culture Change:
"Over the past year, we have made many changes to the organization and product roadmap, and many cultural changes have begun to occur, and we are seeing results. We are very optimistic about that."
