I have really mixed feelings on this. I'd prefer to see Intel work with TSMC and/or Samsung to build/operate joint fabs or some kind of co-ownership over completely outsourcing. I'd prefer to see a few more diverse production locations that include an EU fab, and updated US fab locations. I'm concerned about instability with China stretching its' elbows in the region and I think having more geodiverse locations would be better for everyone involved.
It's kind of the end of an era and sad to see in a lot of ways. I do want to see Intel be more competitive as they'll probably be treading water in mindshare for the next couple years.
Aside: I want to know how much Intel is paying laptop mfgs to keep higher end memory and GPU options out of AMD powered laptops.
- newsclues 6y agoYour concern about China is Taiwan’s leverage with TSMC to remain independent and pro Western.
- tanseydavid 6y agoCould you expand what you mean in your comment (just a little bit) by any chance? I am very interested in this line-of-reasoning.
- fgonzag 6y agoTSMC guarantees that every western country has a stake in Taiwan's sovereignity. As long as they manufacture most of the worlds advanced silicon, western countries will continue to protect and arm taiwan.

- mamon 6y agoI wouldn't take that plan seriously. It probably wil be a huge waste of money, and yield no results.
