Probably not offering fab time to other companies when they were process leaders. TSMC ate their lunch and managed to leapfrog Intel due to their massive R&D efforts fueled by cell phone chips.
- threatripper 2y agoThis one is an interesting take. In hindsight it's pretty obvious but if you are in that situation at that time it seems like you would be selling your crown jewels for pennies.

- computerdork 2y agoagreed. Stalling and then falling behind in fab to TSMC and Samsung is where they really lost the company. Still, Gelsinger sees this and they have bet the company on their 18A process. Will be interesting to see if they pull it off.
