TSMC thrashes Intel on semi tech
TSMC has beaten Intel on nodes, throwing Chipzilla's proud boasts of being ahead in the semiconductor market into deep disarray.
Intel has since the 20th century had the lead in the microprocessor market and now is dominating the datacentre market and has vast coffers of cash. But it is not invincible. Think about IBM, for example.
Use of the word "thrashes" is a bit extreme (I'm not a fan of "trash talk"). The IBM reference is meaningful to one who's been following the industry for 40 years or so. IBM looked invincible for a while.
