I wouldn't even say its mostly for competitors. You want to hide things from suppliers and vendors. An example is, Company A and Company B can both sell a washing machine. Imagine you needs 10 washing machines. They find out that Company A's does better for their needs, so they buy 10 from them. You don't tell wan them to know you needed 10. Keep them unaware that you don't use any from Company B. They would jack up the price knowing they are the sole preferred supplier. Same thing goes for chemicals, raw wafers, tools, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 14, 2022 Ima take a wild guess and say the uncensored video data wasn't allowed to leave the facility I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly... Spoiler What is your budget/country for your new PC? what monitor resolution/refresh rate? What games or other software do you need to run?

As others said, a lot of steps involve spinning the wafer to coat evenly the wafer surface with some chemical or some material, and polishing the wafer is also easier if the wafer is round. Also has to do with the LENS and optical systems used in the process of making the chips.... optical aberrations and errors will be higher towards the corners of a square because the length from the center of the wafer to the corners would be higher than the radius of a circle.

Posted April 15, 2022 Honestly it was a pretty boring video that didn't show us anything we hadn't seen before. All we saw was a bunch of giant white boxes while Linus narrates. He could have done that from home. No need to travel half way around the world. Gaming Room Office PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing was more about Linus getting to see everything first hand and just ended up making it a business trip to explain to the fans and show off some stuff.

I've been waiting for this video a long time since he was seen in Israel (My LinkedIn was full of posts about his trip) And the plane he took was near my house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 3, 2022 The comments section is literally full of obviously political statements, thanks to Intel letting Linus make a heavily censored tour (because of corporate politics of course) of a fab facility in a country that is currently in a heavily political conflict. Such is life I guess: everything is political. Now I can die now. Oh, and also people are basically declared not buying Intel products for obvious political reasons.
