TSMC Completes 5 nm Design Infrastructure, Paving the Way for Silicon Advancement

No. Cloud is indeed understood (as a whole) that it is external computing services and storage provided by external businesses. Yes, you can set up your servers to perform as a self-serving, on-premises cloud, but that does not redefine what we refer to as the cloud.


There is no cloud, its just someone else's computer.

There is a cloud although it is an abstract term. Cloud is just a word that we used to describe something; in this case, someone else's computer.

That is not true. Cloud means the ability of a system to allocate resources to tasks (databases, VMs etc) without direct administration.
In other words: a cloud user can easily allocate resources himself - without having neither admin knowledge nor admin rights on a server. And BTW: the "user" here doesn't have to be a human.

And who is "we"? What you understand (or don't understand) doesn't really change the reality. :-)
