Gelsinger’s Lithography Bet to Revive Moore’s Law | Tech News

After quitting Intel, Pat Gelsinger spent 100 days touring the tech world before landing at Playground Capital, where he’s betting big on deep tech to revive Moore’s Law. His focus? Lithography—specifically, next-gen light wavelengths that could shrink chips further and unlock AI’s next leap. Backed by government support and his own elite team, Gelsinger is hunting for the absolute best teams tackling the toughest problems, even if multiple players are chasing similar breakthroughs. He’s not trying to replace ASML but to push its limits, seeing lithography as the real bottleneck—not processor design. With AI and energy as his twin frontiers, Gelsinger is positioning himself at the heart of the next semiconductor revolution.
