  So Intel's catch-up and overtake is still on track, it sounds like.
  
  But 400 million per machine! More than a passenger jet aircraft. It starts to seem like selling the shovels for the shovels is really paying off.

  ASML is a company employing a workforce of mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, solid state and optical physics speccialists and shit ton of coders
  
  Intel is a company that employs chip chip designers and other electrical engineers, solid state physicists and ECEs, and armies of process engineers.
  
  the simple reality is that the complexity of *Design only* is already sufficiently high that Intel struggles to operate the "IP core level" the verilog level, the gate and register level tne manufacutring and wirebonding level, and the API/IDE development level.
  
  AMD? NVidia? They dont even pretend to try to do all that shit. Neither does TSMC. They just stick to their blacksmithing and design chips... design chips... design chips.... or make chips... make chips.... wire bond wire bond.....

  "..the commercial-grade Twinscan EXE:5200 scanner."
  Is there a non-commercial-grade EUV scanner?

  The article does say the 5000 this year is a "pilot" for R&D, before that one comes out.

  Its an Anton article so there will always be that kind of nonsense. Just ignore it unless its especially awful.

  Sure, R&D is such scanner. It have low throughput ,low uptime and other disadvantages. Presented scanner is R&D version
