The EUV tools, which are theoretically precise enough to hit a person s thumb with a laser pointer from the moon, will play a key role in meeting Intel s goal of delivering five generations of technology in four years, the U.S. company said.
The capability, which Intel was expected to show during a software developer conference held in Silicon Valley, could let businesses and consumers test ChatGPT-style technologies without sending sensitive data off of their own computer. It is made possible by new AI data-crunching features built into Intel s forthcoming "Meteor Lake" laptop chip and from new software tools that the company is releasing.
According to TrendForce research, Intel plans to outsource the tGPU chipset in Meteor Lake to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for manufacture.
