Intel to make chips for Microsoft

I'd try a Reese's Evil. I'll try anything with Reese's in the name.

I'm also an Intel fan. Not so much because I like the company. They have a big presence here where I live (Portland Oregon) and it's good to see people employed. So like them or not, I always have to root for them. 🤷‍♂️
 
I like to think that "AI" is just a fad. I mean, computers are, by definition, artificial intelligence. About three decades ago, there was a thing called "fuzzy logic" which was sort of a crude ancestor of "AI". What, exactly, "Intel" is I am not sure, but I am old enough to remember Altairs and Imsais, which used the Intel 8080 (that was when 8K of RAM would cost you around $400, or about a month's rent on a decent 3-bedroom apartment in a good neighborhood). Curiously, it seems to me that the inferior 6502 typically outperformed the much better 8080.

Microsoft said during Intel's Foundry Direct Connect event on February 21 that the software company will be manufacturing a forthcoming chip that it built internally using Intel's most advanced process node 18A technology. Visionary Wire
