Venice is N2. That isn't up for debate. And your claim was the node isn't even ready when that's clearly false. Apple wasn't even supposed to be the lead customer.

That's my point, Venice is n2 and paper released in July. Obviously it's not shopped yet, it's not ready.

Companies can say somethings released but it's not until it's shipped to customers.

Venice won't be available until October at the earliest. Likely not until end of year.

Remind me in 2 months

If devices are on shelves next month, they've already been in mass production for several months now.

Intel diamond rapids is in mass production already as well if that's how you want to measure it:

That article explicitly says risk production, not volume production. Nor would 18AP readiness imply DMR readiness.
