- The bad optics would tank their share price - TSMC have limited capacity - Intel's designs are tightly coupled to their own foundry (hence the Skylake rehashes instead of porting the improved Ice Lake architecture back to the 14nm process) - Intel are still improving their own foundry processes. By the time the above could be solved, Intel's own 10nm may be improved, or their 7nm process might be ready
