Intel is a chip fabricator. They would be making the same A-chips per Apple's spec. No different than TSMC making the same chips. No loss in efficiency.
Nope...Intel's process is worse than TSMC as TSMC are the ONLY ones in the world with the advanced machines that can do this and nobody else is close...not anywhere near close.
 
Intel is STILL years behind TSMC
Intel is bowing down to Donald and is part owned by Donald who illegally took part ownership and that means FAILURE as ALL business uses owned or part owned by him FAILED!
Apple is ONLY doing this to make Donald happy to get rid of tariffs that he will not end as he makes too much cash from this that HE puts into HIS bank account in Qatar!

Epic fail from time to time Cook.
Actually Intel 18A is faster than TSMC 2nm or 3nm, but I was being diplomatic. Intel has backside power delivery technology that TSMC is not planned to catch up to until later this year. So Intel is by some measures actually ahead right now. Intel took an enormous gamble on their 18A process and it paid off for once, despite their recent track record of failure. But people can’s seem to grasp that the world isn’t black and white.
 
@shplock
Are you alright there? Do you need someone to talk to? You seem pretty hyper focused on that guy, which isn't good especially considering you seem to also severely dislike him. Trust me, life is much happier when you don't worry so much about one guy.
