Unless you’re TSMC, Samsung, Global Foundries, or Chartered, you’re fabless. Apple, Nvidia, Qualcomm, AMD, and many others are doing ok as fabless companies.

- GlennS 7y agoIt used to be one of the main things they did, but they spun it out into a separate company about 10 years ago. They were failing to keep up with Intel in fabrication process because of the massive capital and R&D expenditure required. They decided they would be better off having a choice of fab partners instead.
