Order activity for semiconductor equipment hit a new high for the year
Many find Pat Gelsinger’s foundry strategy for Intel to be counter-intuitive. One thing is for sure, his IDM 2.0 strategy is on a Grove-ian level of doing the unexpected.
Copper Replacement. IFS. Shortages Hold Up Fab Capacity Expansion. Semiconductor Inflation.
Engineers always break through Moore's Walls with semiconductor innovation, which is really what Moore's Law is all about. And now a breakthrough out of quantum mechanics development is driving a replacement for copper that is as revolutionary as copper was to aluminum...
Semiconductor Sales Jumped Higher
Growth continued to slow due to tougher 2020 comps rather than a real decline. Still, 2021 will be the year in which semiconductor sales blew past a Half-a-Trillion and Logic at a Quarter-Trillion!
Visibility Is Clear Well into 2022
Order activity for semiconductor equipment hit a new high for the year; All segments edged higher except for Memory; Visibility for equipment manufacturers has expanded well into 2022; At the macro level, demand remains strong, especially on the enterprise side; Businesses are flush with cash and labor-starved so they're ramping up capital spending to become more efficient and productive
Semiconductor Sales to Pass Half-A-Trillion
Semiconductor Sales growth continues to slow due more to 2020 comps than a real decline. Still, 2021 will be the year in which semiconductor sales blew past a Half-a-Trillion and Logic at a Quarter-Trillion!
Intel’s Foundry Strategy for Growth & IDM 2.0: What’s different?
Many find Pat Gelsinger’s foundry strategy for Intel to be counter-intuitive. One thing is for sure, his IDM 2.0 strategy is on a Grove-ian level of doing the unexpected.
