The 7nm may well likely snowball into a much bigger issue and put the company in jeopardy. E.g. allow competitors to surpass and erode the brand value/perception. This year is already proving to be a watershed one for Intel, largely due to AMD's continued resurgence and taking the performance crown in mobile (Renoir) and expected in desktop (Zen3). Apple announced their move away from Intel silicon and even AWS making strides in their own ARM server chips (Graviton). By itself and without further delays, 7nm will already be a hail mary of sorts due to the TSMC's pace and roadmap. But remember that 10nm yields have not been good so will it be able to handle producing server and desktop chips. If there's another delay (e.g. 7nm in 2023), would Intel need to sell of their fabs?
