The word "foundry" refers specifically to a company that manufactures others' chip designs for them, such as TSMC. Intel discontinued it's foundry business AFAIK.

The more general word would be "fab", which is any semiconductor manufacturing facility.

Oh wow, I wasn't aware of that. Intel really has fallen quite low. I worry about it's future as AMD, Nvidia, and TSMC pull away at it from all sides.
