@alex_warne We couldn't agree more 💙

@onchainantonio Great point. PQC shouldn't be treated as a software-only migration. In the report, we cover how we're bringing quantum-resistant authentication into firmware and platform security, since some of the longest-lived trust anchors are rooted in hardware.

@magicsilicon Looks like @OscarPiastri added a few extra cores for race weekend 👀

Meeting sovereignty requirements shouldn't limit possibilities. Together with @Microsoft, we're helping organizations balance control, security, and flexibility across their workloads.

Performance isn’t just achieved, it’s engineered.
Check out @OscarPiastri’s limited-edition @McLarenF1 & Intel helmet this weekend in Austin.

Security is evolving. So are the technologies that protect our data.

Learn how Intel is advancing trusted computing through innovations in confidential AI, post-quantum cryptography, and more.

OP's US GP lid with @intel ✨

#McLarenF1 | #UnitedStatesGP 🇺🇸

Catch @OscarPiastri if you can. He’ll be rocking a new look at the race in Austin, courtesy of our partnership with @McLarenF1.

@McLarenF1 The Intel is on the outside this time.

It's go time!

@trossenrobotics And thank you, @trossenrobotics, for putting Intel-powered physical AI on display!

@Bechtel Seriously excellent work on the Ohio fab, @Bechtel! We're grateful for your team's expertise, innovation, and dedication as we build the next generation of American semiconductor manufacturing.

@MyVMUG Thanks for the highlight, @MyVMUG! 💎

@asheaw Excellent conversation between Dwarkesh and Intel manufacturing leadership highlighting the manufacturing innovations shaping the future of computing and exploring the industry's biggest questions. Thanks for putting the spotlight on this, Annie!

@dwarkesh_sp Now that you mention it...

@dwarkesh_sp Thank you, Dwarkesh, both for spending time with us in Oregon and for featuring so many Intel leaders on the podcast! We appreciate the opportunity to showcase the latest in semiconductor manufacturing and hope listeners enjoy the discussion as much as we did.

I spent two days touring Intel’s most advanced fab and talking to its technical leadership to understand what the chips of the future will look like.

A lot of what's coming next – gate-all-around transistors, backside power, CFET, hybrid bonding – is hard to follow without we made all the awesome animated explainers that I wish I had while I was prepping.

I also asked Intel’s leadership how the semiconductor industry will cope with the enormous shock in demand from AI.

AI compute has grown 3x a year for the last decade, but according to Intel's CTO, Intel could only double leading-edge wafer production with today’s global stock of chipmaking tools.

What kinds of tricks can foundries pull to extend this crossover point where demand surges way ahead of supply?

This was a totally new format for us - hope you enjoy!
