Wow, this is interesting. When I first heard a few weeks ago that TSMC would be building factories in Phoenix, Arizona[1], my impression was that this was an act of aggressive competition with existing Intel factories and engineering talent in the area. Based on this article, it looks more like a long-term partnership. Intel has been an industry leader for a long time by both designing and manufacturing their own chips. Recently, with all the doom and gloom about Intel's future, I'm curious to see if outsourcing will become a larger part of their strategy.
