Props to Intel for this visit. I know everyone is bagging a lot on them - and justifiably so at times, but they have a lot of cool people there. When I was a kid I wanted to write an essay about CPUs so I called them (this was before email) and asked for information and they delivered a huge box with manuals, models, posters and stuff to my home (also at a time when home delivery didn't exist where I live). I will always have a soft spot for them for doing all that for a nerdy kid.

Watching Linus wave his hands around during this video made me so nervous (especially after the previous video I watched was him dropping a $5000 laser projector). Now I'm definitely clumsy myself, but I feel like Linus is way more confident in his own dexterity and coordination than he should be. Especially with extremely expensive things!

Years ago I was a vendor to a US company that made the chip carriers for Intel. As a senior applications engineer, I was asked to write a CNC routing program that created a precision pocket within the chip carrier for the chip to be imbedded. The equipment was a single spindle vision assisted machine called a "SMART Router". I used a 0.032" router bit to cut the pocket. The tolerance for the routing was +50 microns, -0 microns. Any negative error would destroy the carrier by damaging the gold traces inside the carrier. The router bit would wear in a predictable way so the software could adjust the cutter path on the fly to ensure consistent dimensioning. Otherwise, as the router bit would wear, its diameter would shrink causing the part to fall out of tolerance. There were special .020" pads (fiducials) inside the chip carrier that the vision system would locate and then correct the path of the cutter. There was one room with about 30 of these SMART Routers.

Israel is also not seismicly stable. The Jordain river runs along the fault line between the African and Arabian techtonic plates. Although, Intel's primary Israeli office is in Kiryat Gat which is far from any fault lines. This fab however, isn't. Edit: my mistake. The fab is in Kiryat Gat. It's more than 50 km from the nearest fault line.

Worked at a semiconductor plant for a few years and was blown away how much goes into making the wafers. I worked on the Boron and the acid stations ( Hydrofluoric acid )Cool stuff. I was only allowed to travel on 2 of the 3 floors and could not go anywhere near the separate small fab we had. only about 10 people had access to that area. Most of the machines were automated after entering certain codes and info. Never got used to the sterile suits we had to wear though. Got hot lol. The yellow lights gave headaches after a while too. Did 4-12 hour shifts each week.

It's crazy how much you have to pay attention to those super tiny processes not being disturbed, but as soon as you have the components (say a CPU), you have to worry more about pins breaking off.

BTW, I think that this fab tour has worried Intel more, than a nuclear bomb would be every country in the world, so big thanks goes to Intel too.

Also, switching doesn't only involve buying new machines, but also developing new processes to ensure you can correctly build whatever you need to. And they probably need to re-design some parts of the CPU and validate everything along the way. On top of that, these tests probably take weeks if not months due to the amount of processing needed for each die.

Intel's 14nm fab was also an impressively good fab for what it was, and was arguably better than the 10nm fab that replaced it. 10nm has improved substantially since, but 14nm could still outperform it in terms of being able to reach very high clock speeds with low power consumption. 7nm ("Intel 4") is supposedly going to be a significantly better fab this time around. I think it will be a breakthrough for Intel and will help them better compete with the low-power consumption processors from their competitors. That being said, I do believe 14nm will likely remain in production for a while. As far as their "legacy fabs" are concerned, 14nm may go down in history as one of their best, and it's still very suitable for a lot of their lower-end or budget processors.
