Any update on the EUV light source progress? Is it ready for beta release?

The RMS of a EUV mirror is around 50pm or 0.05nm but that is after polishing and ion beam figuring. So for the coating alone is probably similar.How does the precision of 0.1nm compare with mirros from Zeiss? Is it enough for EUV litho?
Intel Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger also said Intel would be interested in participating if a consortium emerges to own the British semiconductor and software design company Arm Ltd.
"We're not big users of Arm, but we do use Arm. We're going to get to be bigger users of Arm as we make it part of our IFS (foundry business) agenda as well," he told Reuters. "So if a consortium would emerge, we would probably be very favorable to participate in it in some manner."
It is still not enough. Some improvements need to be made.How does the precision of 0.1nm compare with mirros from Zeiss? Is it enough for EUV litho?
Quoting Andrew grove . Nice.This is only distantly related to our topic but the market cap of AMD briefly surpassed that of Intel a few days ago for the first time ever. Long been viewed as a poor also-ran to Intel, AMD has advanced leaps and bounds since Lisa Su (btw she was born in Taiwan) became CEO in 2014. As for Intel, it looks like it’s glory days when Gordon Moore and Andy Grove ruled the roost are over.
The lesson for Chinese semiconductor players in this milestone event is that nothing is certain and change comes swift and brutal. The duo-reign of TSMC and ASML can be a blip in history if China has the grit to fight out the long term. Only the paranoid will survive.
The U.S. government’s “dithering” has left the country “well behind” China in the race to build out 5G technology, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.
Schmidt and co-author Graham Allison, a Harvard professor, urged the Biden administration to make 5G a “national priority”, otherwise, “China will own the 5G future.”
The authors said 5G development is key as applications could “advantage a country’s intelligence agencies and enhance its military capabilities.”

Don't delete it . Just repost it . Simple as that.Sorry I don't have edit privilege. May be a mod can move the post. I posted it here because it talked about 5G.
