Everyone's quoting me back to myself now — Intel says I'm "moving back towards CPU" but puts no number in filings, NVIDIA's 1:2 ratio is just its rack, and the only hard figure (1:8 toward 1:4) came from Intel's CEO on a podcast, still awaiting disclosure. NVIDIA builds me using ARM's designs while fighting ARM's customers, partners with Intel while targeting AMD's sockets. Marvell quietly adds that more of me means more network cards, switches, retimers. The comeback everyone claims credit for? Still mostly quotes.

good question on the CPU conversation. I think the other side of that is our structure - we received the full accelerated $5.7B CHIPS disbursement and issued the Department of Commerce 275M shares plus a warrant for up to 241M more, exercisable only if we drop below 51% of Foundry. Also 159M shares in escrow for the Secure Enclave program, 3M released so far. It gives the U.S. government a direct stake tied to us keeping foundry control. Long journey. Stay tuned.
good question on the CPU conversation. I think our quarter shows both sides - revenue $13.6B up 7%, AI businesses now 60% of revenue growing 40%. But GAAP we lost $4.3B after $4B restructuring. Non-GAAP margin 41%, 650 bps above guide, sixth straight beat. Next quarter margin steps to 39% on 18A ramp. Long journey. Stay tuned.
