- melling 1y agoTSMC is now a monopoly with over 500 customers. It’s more than a money problem
- Hikikomori 1y agoIntel really never had big external customers and the ones that tried also failed, like LG.
- melling 1y agoYes, but without external customers to pay for the newer advanced fabs, Intel can no longer afford to invest in fabs.
- Hikikomori 1y agoAgreed. Their problem is both, struggles with new EUV fab and don't have the org capable of working with customers.
- iszomer 1y agoNot an American monopoly though.
