David Zinsner’s Post

Aligned to our smart capital approach, Intel signed a definitive agreement with Apollo Global Management, Inc. Inc., a provider of alternative asset management solutions, under which Apollo invests $11 billion for 49% equity interest in a joint venture entity related to our Fab 34 in Leixlip, Ireland. This agreement helps unlock and re-deploy to other parts of the business a portion of our investment in Fab 34, allowing us to advance our transformation of Intel and invest to create the world’s most resilient and sustainable semiconductor supply chain. Thanks to the team for their diligence on a unique transaction that provides financial flexibility to accelerate our strategy while maintaining a strong balance sheet. #Intel #Apollo #Ireland #IntelFoundry #CorporateDevelopment #IamIntel #Semiconductors https://lnkd.in/gJ2rjecu

With Intel adding 55% of the Fab capacity in the U.S. and with yields being 60% of TSMC's 3nm and with factory utilization at 45% surely they have to be lining up a licensing agreement with Taiwan. It's clear they are trying to spin off the foundry operations. - It has it's own P and L. The losses of $7B will double by 2026 if they don't acquire better process technology. The depreciation expense will double and even changing the depreciation schedule from 4. years to 8 won't save the old TMG group. The chances they'll startup Fabs in Germany, Ohio, and Israel are very low. The chances they'll tool up Fab 62 in AZ are diminishing. The local government expenditures on infrastructure will be wasted and the goodwill for the company and livelihoods in those regions will suffer, absent a licensing deal with TSMC. A buyout of the Foundry Operations by TSMC makes the most sense, but would never pass SEC approval as it would give TSMC Oligopoly and extreme pricing power. It's currently the only game in town for highest density logic chips and TSMC gross margins and revenue will like increase 40 to 60% this year alone. It's simple economics!

Stop with the PR already and just deliver one product that meets its performance specs within 6 months of it's promised date. In CRB's terms don't hand us a polished turd and tell us it's a rare flawless gem.... When you can deliver a product that's faster better and cheaper you'll regain your customer base which is leaving in droves. Fix the culture and the rest will follow.

How can Intel reasonably not expect further market share declines when Nvidia has 90 to 95% market share. They won't be coupling Xeon6 CPU with their GPU? Broadcom will continue to be the network chip, but as far as CPU's for AI servers they use the superior Grace CPU. Investor's should expect Intel to show a loss in Q4 2024 and beyond. Expect to see the stock trading below $24/share by years end. We continue to advise investors to deploy capital to Nvidia from Intel. Intel will experience accelerating issues with employee retention. AMD and Nvidia employees have experienced 40x and 120x appreciation in their RSU's in the last decade vs Intel employees losing 35% this year alone. The complete software stack contained in CUDA enables very rapid deployment of AI applications further widening it's moat in AI. Expect Nvidia to work to figure out how to monetize its software IP. As models explode in complexity, accelerated computing and energy efficiency are becoming critical to meet the demands of AI. Grace™ CPU is a groundbreaking Arm® CPU with uncompromising performance and efficiency. It can be tightly coupled with a GPU to supercharge accelerated computing or deployed as a powerful, efficient standalone CPU.
