> AMD will never outsource to Intel...they would be basically giving the keys to the kingdom by doing so. They will if the alternative is that they lose customers. It’s not like they have a lot of options. Also they can use Intel for less advanced chips. Intel knows full well that their chip competitors will be skeptical. That’s why they announced today that the company will be split into 2 distinct groups - Foundry and Product. Microsoft and ARM join Intel on stage at their foundry event. The chips they have Intel to make are definitely competitors to Intel’s x86 and GPU businesses. That’s what AMD will do unless they get all they want from TSMC or Samsung.
