Best time to break Intel is after the investments into 18A process node are done. If the node is a success, you can spin off manufacturing business in condition that gives them change of competing with Samsung and TSMC. If you break Intel now, the manufacturing spinoff will probably sell to some private equity that chooses to go the way of Global Foundries and settle for less competitive segments. They start making profit by cutting costs and specializing.
