Even Microsoft used TSMC and can design chips.
If Intel's grand old partner didn't pick their 22nm or 14nm foundry that says a lot!
Anyone that uses Intel has to have been rejected by TSMC consider Intel.

Intel will never be able to compete ad a foundry. Same morons who invested in a $6B boat anchor in the AZ desert.
At other foundry a you have board members, CEO, VPs and many in sales that have experience from mutiple companies with a deep appreciation for customer prospective, then there is Intel just look at their bio and need one say more!
Just look at the moron's in charge of foundry. They have never run any business. Really on the joib training. Recipe for ICF to go down the tube
