AMD is now quietly stripping capacitors from its new Ryzen 7800X3D CPUs
AMD modified the circuit board design across several Ryzen 7000 series processors by eliminating surface-mounted capacitors from specific substrate locations. Users initially questioned the authenticity of their Ryzen 7800X3D chips after noticing absent components that typically appear on the upper substrate regions. The company verified these alterations represent legitimate manufacturing changes rather than counterfeit indicators. Reports confirm the modifications affect multiple models such as the Ryzen 7700, 7600X, and 7500F processors. The revised substrate design delivers cost savings through reduced component counts while maintaining identical performance levels and thermal characteristics. Engineers implemented these changes...
Intel's Arizona and Ireland deals gave away all its future foundry profits
UBS analysts predict Intel stock could reach $40 per share if investors value the company's manufacturing division similarly to global foundry competitors.

Scott Bessent reveals Intel's $10B bailout is just its own grant money
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed government plans to acquire Intel shares through existing CHIPS Act funding during a CNBC interview. The administration will convert previously awarded grants into equity stakes rather than provide entirely new capital. Intel received $7.9 billion in grants plus access to $11 billion in loans through the semiconductor reshoring initiative. The Pentagon allocated another $3 billion through its Secure Enclave program. Trump officials target a ten percent ownership position worth approximately $10 billion based on current market values. The government might contribute an additional $2.1 billion beyond converted grant money to reach this investment level. Bessent emphasized that no companies would...
