1/4 Intel. #TACO extorted Intel to give them a 10% stake in the company and now he's boosting about "the best chip producer in the world!" I call BS. First: Intel is a B-grade chip manufacturer. TSMC is the A-grade company. And ASML (located in the EU, NL) is the ONLY provider of wafer creators.
2/4 Intel is dependent on ASML for their chip factories, but they can't get it working properly. Unlike TSMC. Same machines, just different philosophy & engineers. Second: Intel WAS the main chip & solution provider in the 2010s, mainly because they used extortion to push AMD out of the market.
3/4 After AMD came back with ZEN, they obliterated Intel. Third: Intel outsourced the production of their most high-end chips to TSMC, in Taiwan. Yes, Intel, with their chip factories, is unable to produce their OWN high-end chips.
4/4 Fourth: For lower grade or memory chips, Samsung & SK Hynix (South-Korea) are cheaper than Intel. And Xioxia (Toshiba, USA) is better at it. Intel is a dying giant, right now. They will probably survive, but their products currently are second class.
