I want competition in the x86 market, but Intel did this to themselves.
The 20A node process was also supposed to save them, but was cancelled before it could be used for Arrow Lake.In April, 18A was supposed to be Intel's holy grail, outperforming the competition's 2nm class nodes. What changed so drastically in the last3 months ? Guess the shareholders are being lied to.

Intel's 18A Node Outperforms TSMC N2 and Samsung SF2 in 2 nm Performance Class
Intel's 18A node isn't all about yields and density (which are still very important factors) but also performance. According to Taiwanese media 3C News, citing TechInsights research and calculations, the new leader of node performance is Intel 18A. On a custom scale used by TechInsights, Intel...www.techpowerup.com
My opinion withstanding that Intel should spin off its fabs.
IMO, Intel should've sold their fabs after being stuck on 14nm for so long.
