Yeah, I just hope they do catch up, instead of bailing like AMD and leaving TSMC the only advanced node player in town.

(Yes, I'm aware of Samsung.)

Yep, for the health of the industry I want for the same thing. More competitive foundries are always better.

GloFo isn't really interested in building anything super competitive moving forward either - they announced they weren't going to pursue 7nm.

I think Intel's still pretty dead set of getting back into the foundry game, doing so is kind of necessary for defense contracts right?

Maybe we'll see On Semi get in the game. They did pick up IBM's Fab 10 from GloFo last year.
