Intel getting TSMC to build some of its chips is also I think a way to constrict AMD supply rather than them actually needing the production

Well if this is the case it would not be inconsistent with Intel's usual AMD sabotage.

While I can totally believe Intel doing it for that reason alone - Isn't Intel only buying 7nm capacity while AMD is already moving to 5nm?

No, Apple have exclusivity on TSMC 5nm currently

The news back in September was that Apple had exclusivity on TSMC 5nm to the end of last year: https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20200917PD210.html

It seems that this year Apple has only secured 80% of TSMC 5nm production: https://wccftech.com/apple-secured-80-tsmc-5nm-production-ca...
