yeah intel's foundry business might not be competitive in the short term. but it's better than nothing. they can focus on other industries that don't need high performance / for low power.
because if you yield the whole thing to tsmc. you won't be able to recover the expertise, which is catastrophic for both intel / USA.
agree. You need to get scrappy and back to basics. Create an internal startup that can act as a seed to rebuild their whole foundry business from the ground up. An incubator to nurture latent capacity and future potential.
Capacity building here has to be a long term play.
