"Another trust issue is competing with customers. Today’s systems companies are the fastest growing fabless customers (Apple et al) and who is one of the biggest systems companies in the world? Samsung. Which is why the majority of Samsung Foundry customers are chip only companies. Word to the wise for Intel Foundry Services do not compete with customers."
Intel foundry services must be a pure play foundry like TSMC in order to win customer's trust.
