Intel bought Altera in 2015 when it still thought 10nm would be on time and an advanced node. That did not work out. The idea was to get a better FPGA and have more customers to justify fab build out expenses. Gelsinger more recently said he does not want to force products to be on Intel fabrication. Use Intel processes where it makes sense. No reason to push Altera FPGA to Intel 10/7/4. No reason to push NICs to Intel 10/7/4. And so on.
