really interesting though that intel didnt spend any time talking about their foundry strategy during the analyst day. the tool hookup contractor i talked to that had worked in austin was actually working in israel standing up inte's 10nm facility in kiryat. he made some comments with regard to their fab structures not really being designed to do general purpose foundry. i need to further dig into this. He was speculating 10nm in Chandler could be stood up for Apple in the future but that was pure hypothesizing.
Intel talked about their 14nm foundry last year at IM (they have a lot more process flavors than just a few years ago). They now reiterated their 5 customers. Their strategy is that they are willing to talk to everyone who is interested, but will only accepts if it makes (economical) sense. Not sure what else you want to know.
