Intel Ponte Vecchio GPU Will Be Made on TSMC 6nm Process, CPUs Could Be TSMC 3nm

Is anyone other than me truly shocked at Intel's fall from grace here? Intel outsourcing their chip fabrication because they're basically unable to do it themselves. Like... who would've seen that coming 10 years ago? Or even 5 (back before 10nm was the debacle it became)?

I realize Intel recently ousted their chip chief (who, as I understand it, was poached from Qaulcomm a few years earlier) but if I were on the board, I'd be looking at this situation and calling it what it is: a massive failure in leadership and the pissing away of one of the greatest industry leads and I'd be going further and cleaning house entirely of the executive team.

Oh and free advice for the board: don't put a bean counter in charge of a hardware company. Seriously.

Or pull a Boeing and move your management away from having a tech background and moving them half way across the country from the rest of the company too.
