Quick.. now that intel is busy setting fire to their reputation and customer trust.

Problem being, this puts more eggs in the TSMC basket. Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, AMD etc all go through TSMC.

As much as I hate the fact that Intel has been dragging their feet for years, they are one of the biggest competing foundries.

The pandemic showed us what happens with these single points of chip manufacturing failure.

Oh yes, absolutely. But the timing, with Intel chips failing and their official position Beiing "caveat emptor" there is no better moment to enter the market with this hardware.

And I don't think the Taiwanese mind the worlds' ability to get chips gets a bit more dependant on Taiwan's independence from China.
