Because of mobile, TSMC had so much revenue to advance their process and catch/surpass Intel. Heck, Apple's M1 is probably due to the same reason in the Apple ecosystem, they couldn't win the iPhone either, and IIRC various "what's wrong with Intel" threads stated many of the best Intel engineers went to Apple.

- AtlasBarfed 6y agoAgreed, that's what happens when the MBAs infect your company. Same with Medtronic, a medical engineering company gets overridden with MBAs and now the only innovation they do is acquiring other companies.
