@HorsemanCountry@ArgueAlone So basically, in a nutshell, BESSENT flat out, said they can’t do the IPO until they get the rates under control lower? $FNMA

This is why Warsh is key in the path forward for Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac.
Listen to Warsh (7/13/25) & Bessent (9/24/25). A pro rate cut Fed Chair is the lynchpin.
Yes. I know. The administration created shareholder expectations it hasn’t YET delivered on.
But the F2 situation is fluid & nuanced. Timing is everything. Trump knows this better than anyone.
Executing under optimum conditions behooves all of us...shareholders...home buyers...and yes, the U.S. government.
The countdown to Warsh's confirmation is on. GLTA.
Rumor: Nvidia will outsource some work on next-gen Feynman GPUs to Intel Foundry in 2028, mainly production of I/O dies and advanced packaging, media report, with Nvidia to use either Intel 18A or 14A for the I/O dies and EMIB packaging for 25% of Feynman, while 75% use TSMC’s CoWoS. TSMC will make all GPU dies. The story also reiterates the rumored entry-level Apple M-series chips to be made at Intel Foundry. $NVDA $INTC $TSM #semiconductorsdigitimes.com.tw/tech/dt/n/shwn…
Coincidence that Marvell and AVGO fall after Lip-Bu's ASIC comments?
Toll booths are meant to be eliminated
No better opportunity to work directly with Intel Foundry and the Intel ASIC team for your accelerator. No fees on HBM, no walled garden
Hi @FHFA DIRECTOR @pulte. Have you read #HERA? You understand you pull the trigger on release NOT @POTUS CORRECT?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

We had an incredibly productive board meeting today at Fannie Mae - our best one yet! The team is energized and laser focused on AI, Operational Efficiency, and ROE with our main goal of restoring the American Dream of Home Ownership!!! Great job to the ENTIRE Fannie Mae Team!!!
Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan & CFO David Zinsner @ Q1 Earnings Call
> Massive increase in CPU demand (due to increase in AI CPU-GPU ratio)
> Good news for x86. Great news for Intel. Very strong demand for Xeons.
> Coral Rapids accelerated.
> Intel 4/3, 18A ahead of internal projections. Excellent execution.
> Intel 7, 3 & 18A more wafer starts.
> 18A-P, 14A external customer engagement. Mostly in 2026H2.
> 14A progress outpacing 18A (at similar timelines).
> PDKs shipped to multiple customers (14A 0.9 almost ready).
> 18A ramp up excellent. PTL volume will be 6x (600%) in Q2.
> Terafab (SpaceX+xAI+Tesla) deal in the works. Will refactor process.
> Advanced Packaging... (usual stuff)
> Intel sharing 14A process technology with Terafab? Lip-bu didn't give direct answer (deflected the question).
Here's the official response: "Intel joined the Terafab project as a strategic partner alongside SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla. Intel’s ability to design, fabricate, and package ultra-high-performance chips at scale will help accelerate efforts to refactor silicon fab technology." (sic)
> Lip-Bu: Intel is fundamentally a different company today.
100%. Congrats Lip-Bu Tan. Man of the year!!!

Want more color from Intel
But did Lip-Bu just say/imply the ASIC design business has strong customer interest and is in discussions right now?
Winning IPU/DPU/CPU custom designs is good
But the big win is getting a TPU/Traniunum/OpenAI/Anthropic accelerator win
@zephyr_z9 The most important line, 18A WIP wafers in the factory, matching the year-end target
"We see more than 7% yield improvement per month, and right now, we are seeing the yield is supposed to be, anticipated the same number in end of the year, so we are way ahead of our schedule."
