TSMC, Intel, and Samsung stand as the sole trio of semiconductor firms globally capable of mass-producing 2nm-level processes. Among them, TSMC's process is the most well-developed, rendering its talent pool extremely attractive to rival companies. Recently, news broke that Luo Weiren, TSMC's Senior Vice President of Strategic Development, has defected to Intel. Luo Weiren, at the age of 75, stepped down from his position at TSMC at the end of July. With decades of invaluable experience under his belt, he is anticipated to take the helm of Intel's chip R&D division, facilitating the advancement of its 18A and 14A process R&D endeavors, as well as factory construction projects. In his early career, Luo Weiren was actually an Intel staff member, playing a pivotal role as a core member of the process R&D team in 1996. He made the move to TSMC in 2004 and dedicated 21 years of his professional life there. Under his leadership, his team amassed over 1,500 patents worldwide. Luo Weiren is recognized as one of the driving forces behind TSMC's trailblazing achievements in mass-producing cutting-edge processes like EUV, 5nm, 3nm, and 2nm.
