Wouldn't Intel actually become competitive? Of course without TSMC they wouldn't have had any incentives to open up their fabs...

I wonder how global foundaries is doing these days.
It's not a good thing, but it's not doomsday. The earliest Ryzens 1000s had issues with making incorrect calculations in certain circumstances, and look where they are now. More recently, just a year ago, certain Ryzen mobos literally fried their chips to ~1000 degrees (literally 1000 celsius).
Yes, there are reports of ~50% failure rates, etc... but if you get a shipment of a contaminated batch, it's probably gonna fail, and a single source shouldn't be used to generalise.

I guess they are in an entirely different market than high-end Intel/TSMC/Samsung fabs?
