While I'm not a fan of Intel's monopolistic position on x86, but if Intel really gets rid of manufacturing, it's going to be another accelerator of consolidation in the semiconductor industry. I see it as a threat and I hope it will not happen. The timeline which Intel's in-house fabs survive, is a better timeline.

Samsung has pledged to heavily invest in fabs and try to beat TSMC while SMIC is gaining historic momentum too. Looks like good competition in the upcoming decade to me.

A monopoly is not defined as you’re the only one that can make your own products.

Intel doesn’t have a “monopoly” in the processor space.
