At the Six Five Summit: AI Unleashed 2026, Chris Auth, VP & GM at Intel Foundry, argued that Gate-All-Around transistors and backside power delivery form the foundation for chip architecture well into the next decade.
His key reframing: value per transistor, not cost per transistor, is becoming the metric that matters as scaling takes on a new meaning.
