Talk to me like a noob. I just watched Cold Fusion's take on Intel, and the conclusion is that he lays the blame on Intel trying to juggle manufacturing and design. That dropping this might solve problems. This doesn't make any sense to me. Intel's manufacturing is still done with cheaper labor. It's not like they're necessarily paying higher costs than TSMC. This conclusion to break up Intel seems suspect and with ulterior motives. And it's bad enough that this has already happened to multiple American computer companies (AMD included). Wasn't it the old AMD CEO himself who once said, "Real men have fabs"?
I can definitely get behind the idea that Intel has been (extremely) wasteful in R&D and incompetent over the years (and as a result of the incompetence, abusive in covering it up), but manufacturing being a problem specifically? It doesn't make any sense.
Sorry if this is the wrong section to ask this question.
