Intel's selling off the NAND fabs and never owned a 3D XPoint fab; Optane products are built with 3D XPoint memory fabbed by Micron, with whom they co-developed 3D XPoint.

And it's not cheap or quick to refit a memory fab to produce processors.

Ah, I didn't look too deeply into the NAND sale. In that case, yeah I totally see why they are choosing to outsource to TSMC.
