Why do you think that? Trump clearly wants them to use Intel's 18A which is likely similar to TSMC 2 year old N3P, which is not an impossible option.

- MBCook 1y agoAll of Apple’s stuff? even if Intel’s processes worked just as well, there’s no way they have the capacity to take over for all that stuff. We’d be back in a huge shortage.
- YetAnotherNick 1y agoI would buy that if I could get it in 30% lower price.
- Rohansi 1y agoJust buy hardware that's a few years old and you'll basically get the same thing.

- bigbadfeline 1y agoThat's 14A, not 18A, and it's not being axed, but questioned in what appears to be a game of chicken.
- cherryteastain 1y agoSounds like they are axing 18A for external customers, which is what Intel needs to be an alternative to TSMC: >Tan's overall strategy for Intel remains nascent...Shifting away from selling 18A to foundry customers would represent one of his biggest moves yet.
