Consumer desktop processor fabrication is commodified in no small part due to TSMC, along with the extremely low margins. There's no reason for Intel to target that money pit when there are higher value options like Server processors. The bleeding edge nodes built in Chandler have much better uses. This is part of the longer term IDM 2.0 strategy who's endgame was always going to be a split or potentially even spinoff of Intel Foundary services from Intel Chip Design services - their goals are just too diametrically opposed and undermining each other.
