They are purchasing fab time from TSMC right now because of the failure to produce 10nm for years but both sides are saying that it's only a temporary thing.
Now if you're talking about in the future, the biggest hurdle is going to be Apple and AMD since they got there first and already have contracts for specific amounts of fab time/wafers. Intel coming in now is basically only able to take whatever table scraps are left.
