Prediction Not checkable as stated
Multi-year fab lead times will keep AI hardware supply chains constrained
“Look, I think we're probably going to be in a constrained world for the next little bit of time. Just, you know, that some of these things are, they take time. Like, look how long it takes to build a semiconductor fab. Like, it is, it's not a short lead time, …”

Jun 18, 2026 bearish
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Tan: Intel Foundry is very distant from TSMC on performance and yields
“And the Foundry side, we are very distant from TSMC. And then in terms of their performance, so that's we have to be humble looking at building the building block, like I mentioned earlier, the IP, the yield, the defect density, and the cycle time to make it m…”
