This factory won't be purchasing last gen stuff, more like 10 year old gen machines (I heard 25ish nm machines).



Other sources[1] say its 65nm, and the chips won't even be used for automotive purposes.

Here's a source from Bosch themselves saying "up to 65 nm", which I assume means 65 nm as the smallest feature. They're making "Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and power semiconductors" mainly for the automotive industry, so they're probably counting on that being enough. And what a great time to start production.

the text says otherwise regarding automotive: "with output of automotive chips to follow from September" (so, you're correct for now until september, but sep. is soon already I would say)


They'll probably making chips for Bosch parts. IIUC they don't do much advanced computational stuff.
