You can spin up everything in tech in no time by just spending money unless it's a 3nm chip fab.
However, fabricating chips is a business that everyone wants to outsource. It's work with nasty hazardous chemicals. Development and research are tricky and expensive and require a lot of physical grunt work. A lot of very smart engineers have to interface with technicians performing tedious and dangerous work that they have to not screw up. It's also one of the most important businesses in the world.
Intel has to somehow make the culture and engineering work so that they can perform the physics, chemistry, manufacturing and material science to make a new chip fab. This is what they've screwed up so far, and what they'll have to make work if they want to get back in the game. Can they pull it off?
