> The most important decision was shifting to extreme ultraviolet lithography at a time when Intel thought it was much too expensive and difficult to implement; TSMC, backed by Apple’s commitment to buy the best chips it could make, committed to EUV in 2014, and delivered the first EUV-derived chips in 2019 for the iPhone.

Can somebody here correct me if I am wrong, but my impression was that Intel did commit early to EUV, with initial plans to start high volume manufacturing in line with other fabs (initial schedule was to introduce EUV in 2017 [1], it just got postponed many times), but they just failed in their execution.
