In that case you have many manufacturers using older nodes and processes. It’s not comparing like with like at all. Also, older process fabs are still being built to address that issue. If we are talking about leading edge, high performance chips, we must all be honest with ourselves despite our personal feelings. I dislike some of Intels business practices, but they make a high quality product at volumes that are insane. Despite poor execution on some generations they’ve remained the top of the industry. That’s an amazing feat. Additionally, when they did fail, it was for trying something others had never attempted (GAAFET), and in my mind that isn’t as bad as failing using proven methods; especially so when they still kept a market lead and their older stuff managed to stay within spitting distance of the competition.
