Except they are

Note to self don't trust tweak town.

That's such an impossibly big number for that timeline. The actual news is they're ramping up their newest node, which they were doing anyway, and which was a small percent of their total production.

Is this new capacity or will some kind of other chip type suffer?

lol 8x in 2026 hahahahahahaha that is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard of coming from a semiconductor manufacturer. Maybe 8x as many of something they weren’t selling beforehand, but increasing production on full fabs by 8x? I’d love to be wrong but this makes zero sense to me.
